Arch-WSL About locale

First of all, thank you for allowing us to use archlinux in wsl.

The default locale is 'C.UTF-8', we can easily set it to 'en-US.UTF-8' through editing locale.gen and running command locale-gen, but other language will meet an error, just like chinese:

Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  zh_CN.UTF-8...[error] cannot open locale definition file `zh_CN': No such file or directory

However, after reinstalling glibc, it works!

why? Is this because the glibc that comes with the docker version of archlinux has been streamlined?

Maybe we can add a description to the readme.

seems like it is a docker image issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=253198

That seems default docker image is heavily stripped

Hey, any progress in that topic?

I have an arch wsl installed that i have made using the docker image and have the same issue. Was thinking about building an image myself when i found this repo.
