Hmm, I’m actually not sure whether or how it is possible to use the command prompt with non-latin letters. The “locale”, AFAIK, is only relevant for the output of commands, but not for writing commands. With a matching keyboard layout, it is possible to write non-latin letters, but I don’t know how the shell can translate this into commands, which are natively in latin letters.

Do I event understand it correctly that you want to run commands on the shell command line with Ukrainian cyrillic letters?

I type my commands in English

The system replies in Ukrainian

4

And which command is not working?

5

The commands are not the problem

The Ukrainian responses are the issue

They are supposed to be English

You would need to set Locale : [C.UTF-8]

7

ok, why would it change itself? any idea

8

is the selected
Locale : [uk_UA.UTF-8] │
│ Timezone : [Europe/London] │
│ Keyboard : [gb]

not the correct from the locale settings ( I am in the UK)

Try setting it to C.UTF-8
