  1. Edit the /etc/locale.gen file, uncommenting the languages that you want to have in the system

    sudo vim /etc/locale.gen

    Then generate the files of each language with

    sudo locale-gen

    And finally make sure that your user has the variables "locale" that you need to the .bash_profile file. For example English US:

    echo "export LANGUAGE = en_US.UTF-8
export LANG = en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL = en_US.UTF-8 ">> ~/.bash_profile

  2. This might be the old question but the below steps work for me when I faced the same problem on my Ubuntu 18.04

    Step 1: Edit the Filezilla desktop file

    sudo nano /usr/share/applications/filezilla.desktop

    Step 2: Find the below line

    Exec=filezilla

    Step 3: Replace it with the below line

    Exec=env LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 filezilla

    Step 4: Save the file and exit the nano editor

    Step 5: Close and reopen the filezilla app to see no errors related to LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL variable.
