修改ubuntu locale 支持中文

修改locale

将Ubuntu系统语言环境改为中文的zh_CN.UTF-8

查看当前系统语言环境

locale

编辑配置文件，将en_US.UTF-8 改为 zh_CN.UTF-8

sudo nano /etc/default/locale

LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="zh_CN:en"

查看更改后的系统语言变量，如果出现下列错误，说明没安装zh_CN的local

dell@ubuntu:/$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=zh_CN:en
LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_NAME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

查看系统内安装的locale

dell@ubuntu:/$ locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
en_US.utf8
zh_CN
zh_CN.gb2312

看吧，没装zh_CN.UTF-8

安装zh_CN.UTF-8

sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8

再次查看，应该一切正常

dell@ubuntu:/$ locale
LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=zh_CN:en
LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_NAME=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=zh_CN.UTF-8
