Try this:

`$ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get install belocs-locales-bin belocs-locales-data

$ sudo vim /etc/locale.gen
# en_US ISO-8859-1
# en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
# en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
# en_ZA ISO-8859-1
# en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8`

find the locale you need & uncomment it

`$ sudo locale-gen
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8 (or whatever you choose)... done
Generation complete`

That should fix it. If it doesn't, try:

`$ sudo apt-get install locales
$  sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales`

& follow the on-screen instructions.

Cheers,

  Phil...
