hello,

when executing some programs like bash, python, perl or yum you can sometimes encounter messages like these:

"-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8)"

or

"Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8""

The fix for this bug is quite simple, just add following line to your /etc/sysconfig/i18n:

LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

and the world is nice again 🙂

Update:
If using the MacOSX Terminal you can also deactivate the option "Set locale environment…" in the Terminal -> Settings -> Advanced tab.
