2. Solution

This situation is generally caused by the failure to install the Chinese language pack or the problem with the default language set. Please refer to the methods in this article for troubleshooting and solutions.

This paper takes CentOS7 system as an example.

1. View the current system locale

locale

2. Check whether there is a Chinese language pack

Check whether there is a Chinese language pack.

locale -a | grep zh_CN

zh_CN.utf8is simplified Chinese. If there is no zh_ Cn.utf8, install the language pack. If it exists, you can set it directly.

3. Install Chinese language pack

If you refer to Section 2.2, the current system has zh_CN.utf8, ignore this section.

yum install kde-l10n-Chinese

4. Temporarily modify the system default language

Temporary modification. After restarting the server, it will be restored to the previous settings.

Revised to Chinese as follows:

LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"

Use locale to view the current system language, which has been successfully modified.

1) Method 1

vi /etc/locale.conf

After saving, use reboot to restart the system.

2) Method 2

localectl set-locale LANG=zh_CN.UTF8

Restart the system using reboot.
