Research direction

Start with the locales page at linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/locales.html and review its existing language-support guidance. Done means the page advises users to install “English / United States UTF-8” language support regardless of their selected system localization.

Description

Here: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/locales.html

If user installs only non-English LSPs, some weird bugs and unexpected behaviour may occur. This maybe bugs in the software, yet I happened to encounter them. Nevertheless I suggest to add an advice for the user to always install "English / United States UTF-8" language support regardless of selected system localization.
