Different Language Chosen for idvserver

For idvserver to be successfully set up, the language chosen must be UTF-8 encoded.


cat /etc/default/locale

If LANG contains the .UTF-8 extension, there will be no issues.

If LANG does not have the .UTF-8 extension, do the following modifications.


# List all available locales
locale -a

# Note: the output will return .utf8 but when we are updating it make sure to do so in .UTF-8

# If you managed to find one that meets your needs, execute this command
sudo update-locale LANG=<locale>
e.g. sudo update-locale LANG=en_IN.UTF-8
