adding locale on server

date unix locale

dpkg-reconfigure locales does nothing for me on a plain vanilla install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but locale-gen works like a charm:

sudo locale-gen de_DE.utf8

date unix locale

You need to generate de_DE.utf8 locale in your server.

The process is pretty straightforward. For example on Debian/Ubuntu distros, you can add/remove locales by issuing the following command:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

You will be then presented with a list of available locales (basically all of them). Check/uncheck the one you like and click on OK. Good luck!
