Workaround for issue with Locale settings when you connect to linux server

The issue is seen if you use linux servers with RHEL version 8.0 and above. Starting with RHEL 8, Red Hat delivers locales through language-specific packages. Therefore, administrators must explicitly install or generate any non-default locales.
