Troubleshooting
I do not see my language on the list.
Edit the file /etc/locale.gen and uncomment (remove leading #) your language code, for example:
#de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 change to de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
and then run in terminal:
sudo locale-gen
Your language (in this case German-Germany) should appear on the list.
