setting locale from terminal does not clear the warning of the package manager

[flip111]

When starting sublime text like

[ myPC: ~/ ] 
bash> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 /home/flip111/programs/sublime_text_3/sublime_text

I still get

System:
CentOS 7.3.1611
terminator 0.98
bash 4.2.46
kernel: 3.10.0-514.6.1.el7.x86_64

Do you have en_US.UTF-8 installed on your machine?

[flip111]

checked with locale -a which lists en_US.utf8

[wbond]

I would try that locale in the command instead and see if it works for you.

I tried now LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 /home/flip111/programs/sublime_text_3/sublime_text and i still get the same dialog

I'm not really use why your machine won't properly handle UTF-8 in filenames.

You can play around with different locales until you can get the following code to run in your Sublime Text Console without an error:

os.path.join(sublime.packages_path(), u"fran\u00e7ais")

[flip111]

with play around, do you mean try all possible combinations? There are like 15 different locale settings and lots and lots of different locales that can be used. Do you have any specific suggestions of this direction?

[wbond]

Not really – this error indicates your machine can't properly handle UTF-8 filenames and is instead using a single-byte character encoding. There are packages and files in packages that use non-ASCII characters. If this test doesn't pass, then your machine could fail in all sorts of different places.

Honestly, as long as you are using a locale that supports UTF-8, you should be good.

Nothing we can do on our end.
