The system locale defines the language and country-specific setting for the programs running on your system and the shell sessions. You can use locales to see the time and date, numbers, currency and other values formatted as per your language or country. Configuring system locale on Debian 9 is a fairly easy task and it should be configured in less than 10 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662cf7c16bf88\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662cf7c16bf88\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/configure-system-locale-on-debian-9\/#1-Check-the-current-system-locale-on-Debian-9\" title=\"1.

In the output above the system locale is set to <code>en_US.UTF-8<\/code>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before setting up a different system locale you can first check which locales are enabled and ready to use on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/debian-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debian 9 VPS<\/a>. You can use the following command for that purpose:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">locale -a<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The output should be similar to the one below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"># locale -a\r\nC\r\nC.UTF-8\r\nPOSIX\r\nen_US.utf8\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>3.\u00a0 Generate a system locale for the region you need<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have the locale that you need to be enabled on your system, it can simply be generated by using the <code>locale-gen<\/code> command. Just run the following command to generate a locale for the region you need:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">dpkg-reconfigure locales<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Select the locale that you want to be enabled and press <code>OK<\/code>.

Changing your locale manually<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Editing the locale file is very easy. You can use your favorite text editor to edit the\u00a0<code>\/etc\/default\/locale<\/code>\u00a0file. If this file does not exist, then no locale is currently set for your system. You can create one manually and enable a locale for your system. The output below shows how the file should look like:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cat \/etc\/default\/locale\r\n#  File generated by update-locale\r\nLANG=en_US.UTF-8\r\nLC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Replace <code>en_US.UTF-8<\/code> with the locale you wish to have active on your system and save the file. Once you save the file, log out from your current session and then log back in, or open a new terminal, and your newly chosen locale will be active.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>NOTE: This example file only sets the <code>LANG<\/code> variable for your system, which covers the locale for all parts of the system.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-changing-your-locale-using-the-update-locale-command\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Changing-your-locale-using-the-update-locale-command\"><\/span>6. Changing your locale using the update-locale command<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another way of changing the locale on your system is to by using the <code>update-locale<\/code> command. For example, to set the system locale to <code>en_GB.utf8<\/code> use the following command:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">update-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Again, restart the session and check the currently active locale to make sure the one you want is properly set up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"># locale\r\nLANG=en_GB.utf8\r\nLANGUAGE=\r\nLC_CTYPE=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_NUMERIC=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_TIME=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_COLLATE=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_MONETARY=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_MESSAGES=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_PAPER=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_NAME=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_ADDRESS=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_TELEPHONE=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_MEASUREMENT=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_IDENTIFICATION=\"en_GB.utf8\"\r\nLC_ALL=\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-changing-the-locale-for-specific-parts-of-the-operating-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Changing-the-locale-for-specific-parts-of-the-operating-system\"><\/span>7. Changing the locale for specific parts of the operating system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Updating the <code>LANG<\/code> variable allows you to change the locale for the entire system at once. If you want to set up the locale for a specific part of the system you should edit the appropriate variable. Here are a few useful variables to know:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>LC_MESSAGES \u2013 Sets the language for system messages.<\/li>\r\n<li>LC_RESPONSE \u2013 Sets the language for dialogs shown on screen (e.g. \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d dialogs).<\/li>\r\n<li>LC_NUMERIC \u2013 Sets the format for numbers depending on the region (e.g. decimals and commas being switched in some countries).<\/li>\r\n<li>LC_TIME \u2013 Sets the format for the time and date.<\/li>\r\n<li>LC_COLLATE \u2013 Sets the alphabetical order for strings (e.g. file names).<\/li>\r\n<li>LC_MONETARY \u2013 Sets the currency name and symbol depending on the country.<\/li>\r\n<li>LC_NAME \u2013 Sets the format for names (e.g. last name displayed before the first name).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For a list of all available variables, you can check the <a href=\"http:\/\/man7.org\/linux\/man-pages\/man7\/locale.7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">locale man page<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-system-locale-on-ubuntu-16-04\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Set Up System Locale on Ubuntu 16.04<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-set-up-system-locale-on-centos-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Set Up System Locale on CentOS 7<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"105\" height=\"130\" class=\"wp-image-28740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Configuring-System-Locale-on-Debian-9.jpg\" alt=\"Configuring System Locale on Debian 9\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to <strong>configure system locale on Debian 9<\/strong>, if you use one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/debian-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debian VPS Hosting<\/a> services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to set up system locale on Debian 9 for you.
