To fix the locale issue.

Reinstall posix-locales package using:
Code:
apt-get install posix-locales --reinstall
Once this package is installed.
You can check the list of available locales using:
Code:
locale -a
Make a note of locale that you will be using.
By default utf-8 locales aren't used. But I think they should be safe to use.
Open /etc/osso-af-init/locale using nano or leafpad.

Code:
#!/bin/sh

unset LC_ALL
export LANG=en_GB
export LC_TIME=en_GB
export LC_MESSAGES=en_GB
export LC_NUMERIC=en_IN
export LC_MONETARY=en_IN
export LC_PAPER=en_IN
export LC_NAME=en_IN
export LC_ADDRESS=en_IN
export LC_TELEPHONE=en_IN
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_IN
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_IN
Make sure that the locale is filled as above.
I am using en_IN and en_GB both.
But for you it might just en_GB, en_US or different.

Once you have made sure that it's filled and is in the available list, restart the phone.
After restart, check the regional/language settings again in the phone by accessing phone settings.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!!!

Thanks for this. Something (not quite sure what) caused my locale file here to be a 0-length file. locale-gen and the like were not fixing the issue and I was a hair away from a reflash before I saw this.

I'm thinking I may still do a reflash, since I'm not sure what else may have been borked (and its been a couple years since I did a reflash). But at least right now I have a working system again and can do the reflash on my own time.

1) create /etc/locale.gen, the contents of the file should look something like:

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

2) run the following command as root:

locale-gen

3) You should now see a new /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive that is much smaller than the one that got deleted

4) I also ran the following command as root, although I do not know if it is necessary or not:

setlocale

5) reboot

6) enjoy
Thanks but it dit not work for me. The 1.2MB file locale-archive has been generated correctly (using fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8 in my case) but I still have the same problems (everything like "wdgt_va_24h_time" instead of the normal time...). Did I miss something? (setlocale didn't change anything).
