问题解决办法
要想达到应用程序中正常显示中文字符的目的，要下面的三个变量应该如下，
|
1
2
3
|
LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh:en_US:en LC_ALL=LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 |
但问题在于“LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory”和“LC_ALL: cannot change locale (zh_CN.UTF-8) ”，因此重新安装中文语言包。
执行下面命令
|
1
|
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-zh-hans
|
或
|
1
|
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans-base
|
如果想支持繁体字，则执行
|
1
|
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-zh-hant
|
或
|
1
|
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-zh-hant language-pack-zh-hant-base
|
再执行locale命令设置当前locale环境

相关的文件和参考
相关手册：man locale(1), locale(5), locale(7)
相关文件：/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
相关命令：
locale --all-locales 列出当前系统中所有支持的locale
localectl list-locales 列出当前系统中所有可用的locale
localectl set-locales LOCALE... 修改当前系统中的locale，与locale功能相同，与export上文提到的三个变量相同
对于CentOS，可以直接编辑/etc/sysconfig/i18n文件，将LANG="en_US.UTF-8"设置成LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"，除此之外，CentOS下locale命令的显示结果如下：
|
1
|
# locale |
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
其中，LC_ALL=为空，但并不是表示这里不对，而是LC_ALL=实际上等于LC_COLLATE、LC_CTYPE、LC_MONETARY、LC_MESSAGES、LC_NUMERIC、LC_TIME，参见locale(7)。
