As per https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/291#issuecomment-211495754:
Ensure en_GB.UTF-8 is not removed when automation user locale is set.

I think it may be worth adding a locale check: enforcing en_GB.UTF-8 for scripts.

• check current locale; save in variable original_locale
• set locale to GB utf-8
• set locale back to user preferred

@k-plan :+1:

Thanks. I'll take a look, working on automation at the moment.

Locale is fixed:

Starting from en_GB:

AUTOINSTALL_LANGUAGE=en_US;sed -i "/$AUTOINSTALL_LANGUAGE.UTF-8/c $AUTOINSTALL_LANGUAGE.UTF-8 UTF-8" /etc/locale.gen;echo -e "LANG=$AUTOINSTALL_LANGUAGE.UTF-8" > /etc/default/locale;echo -e "LC_ALL=$AUTOINSTALL_LANGUAGE.UTF-8" > /etc/environment;locale-gen;localectl set-locale LANG="$AUTOINSTALL_LANGUAGE.UTF-8"

After reboot:

root@DietPi:~# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Also updated dietpi.txt docs to explain AUTO_Locale= will only support 1 entry.

Timezone is being applied correctly during automation. Tested on RPi.

Fixed for v127. Requires v127 image which i'll create prior to v127 release.
