Check the current locales:

locale -a

Add the languages you want by editing /etc/default/libc-locales, and uncommenting your choice:

#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:

sudo xbps-reconfigure glibc-locales

Finally, select your chosen locale by placing it in /etc/locale.conf.

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:

locale -a
