Minor note: on Debian (and possibly other distros), you don't have to use `locale-gen` to dynamically build things into `$complocaledir/locale-archive` (which, incidentally, can cause random breakage for programs that happen to start during system upgrades). The `locales-all` package works more like macOS. It's only a ~10MB download but unpacks to take ~250MB of disk space (these numbers will vary based on your libc version and packaging format). There are a lot of sparse arrays and UTF32 character data in compiled locales. Incidentally, the command to dump a locale's data is: LC_ALL=whatever locale -ck `locale | sed 's/=.*//; /LANG\|LC_ALL/d'`
