Privet @denmonk and welcome to the userforums of NC.

How did you setup the locale of your OS on your server?

Hello, thanks. Locale for apache user is:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
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=

There is a similar problem on the forum, there a man changed the locale to ru_RU and it did not give any result. Unfortunately, there is no solution since 2018.

i am not really sure that it has to do with the locale setting of OS but somehow it just seems logically to me.

BTW apache user-setting isn’t exactly the setting of your server.

i think those codes are the “translation” of cyrillic letters to ascii on a non-cyrillic OS. So that’s why I was asking for your locale.

Sorry to keep you waiting for my reply. For all users on this system where nextcloud is running the locale has the same settings as the apache user.

that’s still not the same as setting a systenwide locale to russian… You need to do that on OS-level. Pls refer to google on how doing that.
