Solved my umlaut entering problem

[Zyro]

I remember others having the same problem, so here we go...

I couldn't enter my umlauts (German in my case) e.g. in reviews in the Steam client. Copying them somewhere else and pasting them in worked, though. Today I ran Steam from command line due to another problem (after upgrading hardware, kernel and Nvidia driver, I cannot run anything on Proton anymore) and saw this little message:
WARNING: setlocale('en_US.UTF-8') failed, using locale: 'C'. International characters may not work.
Well, suspicous, isn't it? So instead of the installed en_EN.UTF-8, I installed en_US.UTF-8, and finally, I can enter all my äöüß again. (It's totally coincidential that GB left the EU today. :D )

Hope this helps someone.

That's what I call "grave news" :-)

Sorry, I don't want to take sides, still using politically correct `LANG=C`

Here's what I needed to do:

1. add the line

   en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

   (or remove the hash of that line)
   to the file

   /etc/locale.gen

2. execute

   locale-gen

I'm hoping that those instructions help others ;)


Nochmal auf deutsch :)

Folgendes musste ich tun, damit die Umlaute funktionieren:

1. die Zeile

   en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

   der Datei

   /etc/locale.gen

   hinzufügen bzw. hash am Beginn der Zeile entfernen
   

2. locale-gen

   ausführen

Ups, I didn't actually give the command...
(After installing wajig...)
> wajig reconfigure locales
Should do the same.
