Hello @Managor, this looks like #5704, what's does locale -a output?

MManagor 2020-02-05 github

$ locale -a
C
en_GB.utf8
fi_FI.utf8
POSIX

Thanks, as noted in that issue report, please add en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 to /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root to regenerate the system localizations, then restart Steam and retest to confirm this is a duplicate of #5704.
