Sometimes colleagues may accidentally install the Ubuntu 12.04 Chinese version. It is not a poor Chinese character, but an error message or a Chinese character that cannot be found on the Internet.

The following method can be used to restore the English system.

1. Replace all zh_CN with en_US in the/etc/default/locale file.

En with en

2. Install the en_US Language Pack

1. Sudo apt-get install language-pack-en

3. Use the locale command to check

The output may have write problems. For example, LC_ALL is not set, and zh is used.

Copy the locale output result in/etc/environment and modify it as needed:

1. LANG = en_US.UTF-8
2. LANGUAGE = en_US: en
3. LC_CTYPE = "en_US.UTF-8"
4. LC_NUMERIC = "en_US.UTF-8"
5. LC_TIME = "en_US.UTF-8"
6. LC_COLLATE = "en_US.UTF-8"
7. LC_MONETARY = "en_US.UTF-8"
8. LC_MESSAGES = "en_US.UTF-8"
9. LC_PAPER = "en_US.UTF-8"
10. LC_NAME = "en_US.UTF-8"
11. LC_ADDRESS = "en_US.UTF-8"
12. LC_TELEPHONE = "en_US.UTF-8"
13. LC_MEASUREMENT = "en_US.UTF-8"
14. LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_US.UTF-8"
15. Lc_all= en_US.UTF-8

4. Restart

Check with locale. Everything is OK.
