$ locale --all-locales

try on your machine

The command "locale --all-locales" is used in Linux and Unix-based operating systems to display a list of all available locales or language settings that are installed on the system.

A locale is a set of parameters that define the user's language, region, and cultural preferences. It includes settings such as language code, character encoding, date/time format, currency symbols, etc.

When you run the "locale --all-locales" command, it queries the system's locale database and retrieves a list of all the locales that are currently installed. This list will typically include various language codes and corresponding regions, such as "en_US" for English in the United States, "fr_FR" for French in France, "es_ES" for Spanish in Spain, and so on.

This command is useful for getting an overview of the available locales on your system, which can be helpful in configuring language-related settings or troubleshooting issues related to localization.
