default configuration does not support Chinese named file listing with ls
OS:Windows10
Cmder:1.3.0-pre

1. Press Win+Alt+p to open _settings_;
2. Search key worrd _Environment_;
3. Add the text set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8.

I found this way by watching mingw64 _ENV_ variables.

Works for me! Thanks @Heier2013

I have set up a set of LANG = zh_CN. Utf-8，use ls can see normal file name, but the file path can't display properly.
Another problem is the first time open cmder client And switch the file path will go wrong

@codesboy

1. In my case,i don't get any character encoding issues after set environment variables,you can try to uncheck the Monospace options;
2. I think you should view the error info first or reinstall _cmder_.

my envirionment: cmder_mini 1.3.0, windows 10
@codesboy #1070 this can fix the file path problem

[LuvTian]

perfect,It works.Thankyou.

I have the same problem,and Add the text set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8.,but it doesn't work.
How can i solve the problem?

[LuvTian]

@Michael728 You need this #1070

[jankatins]

@codesboy I don't think so: ls is (usually) from the git-for-windows package. #1070 only fixes the garbled unicode letters in the current working dir (in the line before the lambda prompt -> the D:\ in the above screenshot).

It would help to see where the error comes from:

• execute where ls.exe to get the full path to ls.exe
• open a normal cmd window, switch to the same dir and execute the full path to ls.exe

-> if the same error happens than ls.exe is the problem

Then try in the same cmd window set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 and reexecute the ls call. If that works, then you can add the set ... call to <cmder>\config\user-profile.cmd or use https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/issues/985#issuecomment-227387888 but do not use set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 but only LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 (without the set)

[mbirth]

Just for the record, the locale set LANG=en-GB.UTF-8 or en-US.UTF-8 both didn't work for me as there don't seem to be any locales installed here. But set LANG=C.UTF-8 brought the desired effect and made umlauts appear in e.g. the ls command.

[jdhao]

It works for me by using set LANG=zh_CN.utf8.

[chjiyun]

@jimmy-yao @mbirth @jdhao the best way to solve this problem is to modify the file (\Cmder\vendor\conemu-maximus5\ConEmu) ,search the keyword "EnvironmentSet" and add a new line:

<value name="EnvironmentSet" type="multi">
    <line data="set PATH=%ConEmuBaseDir%\Scripts;%PATH%"/>
    <line data="set LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8"/>
</value>

@chjiyun doing the same in the settings is a bit more convenient:
