+
+Check the current locales:
+
+
+```bash
+locale -a
+```
+
+Add the languages you want by editing `/etc/default/libc-locales`, and uncommenting your choice:
+
+```bash
+#en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8  
+#en_DK ISO-8859-1  
+en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8  
+en_GB ISO-8859-1  
+#en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8  
+#en_HK ISO-8859-1  
+```
+
+Now you can generate what you need for those languages.
+However, instead of generating what you need, you're going to generate everything which needs updating:
+
+
+```bash
+sudo xbps-reconfigure --all --force
+```
+
+Finally, select your chosen locale by placing it in `/etc/locale.conf`.
+
+```bash
+echo "LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
+LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
+LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf
+
+
+#en_DK.UTF-8 UTF-8  
+#en_DK ISO-8859-1  
+en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8  
+en_GB ISO-8859-1  
+#en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8  
+#en_HK ISO-8859-1  
+```
+
+Check your new locales are available:
+
+
+```bash
+locale -a
+```
