Solução:

Run the command locale - it should show your current locale. Generate the locales for french: sudo locale-gen fr_FR sudo locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8 Also, try regenerating the supported locale list by running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales And update/change the current default locale: sudo update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 OUTRAS: Extra steps to try: Try: sudo update-locale LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="fr_FR" sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales Perhaps adding LANG and LANGUAGE in /etc/environment could force a change. Try logout/login or rebooting. locale will show your current locale for the current user. Perhaps it's worth checking out these files just to be sure no local language variables are set: ~/.profile ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile More info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale http://serverfault.com/questions/228474/correctly-changing-default-locale-in-ubuntu-server-10-04-lts
