Add additional locale support for Linux/Windows OS images about compiler-explorer HOT 2 OPEN

We are using Ubuntu 22.04, do you have any suggestions on how to install them? We setup our instances with among others this script https://github.com/compiler-explorer/infra/blob/main/setup-node.sh#L15 in which we do some extra software installation

from compiler-explorer.

Thanks for the quick response!

The relevant package is locales and it will be installed by default (ubuntu-minimal depends on it).

Most of the locales I mentioned are "supported" ones and they should be present in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. For those locales, it suffices to uncomment the matching lines in /etc/locale.gen and then run locale-gen. This should suffice for the following locales. Since uncommenting matching lines could be annoying to automate, it should be ok to just append these entries to that file.

• ja_JP.UTF-8
• ja_JP.EUC-JP
• zh_CN.UTF-8
• zh_CN.GB18030
• zh_CN.GBK
• zh_CN.GB2312
• zh_HK.UTF-8
• zh_HK.BIG5-HKSCS
• zh_TW.UTF-8
• zh_TW.EUC-TW
• zh_TW.BIG5

The ja_JP.sjis locale is "unsupported", but still available. I think this is the command I used on my local machine to build it.

• localedef -f SHIFT_JIS -i ja_JP ja_JP.sjis

The ja_JP.ujis locale is an alias of ja_JP.eucJP and should already be present in /etc/locale.alias. I don't think anything needs to be done for it.

If everything works as expected, locale -a should list all of the above locales. It might be useful to add that command at the end of the script to capture the available locales in log output.
