Ubuntu – Remove a locale in Ubuntu

localizationUbuntu

I accidentally add a locale, e.g. sudo locale-gen zh_TW

e.g. locale -a

zh_TW

But how to remove it?

I think you can do this by editing /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local and removing that locale. Then run locale-gen to regenerate the compiled locales.

Edit /etc/default/locale and set the contents to:

LANG="nl_NL.UTF-8"

You can check which locales you currently have generated using:

locale -a

You can generate more by editing /etc/locale.gen and uncommenting the lines for the locales that you want to enable. Then you can generate them by running the command:

locale-gen

You can find a list of supported locales in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED

There is more information available on the Debian wiki.
