Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Steam-API: v020 Steam-Paket-Version: 1594252496 steam-runtime_0.20200604.0
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian 10 (Buster) 64bit (Cinnamon Desktop)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes] Steam Beta Update is enabled
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes]

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When I enter something in Steam (example: chat or shop), and type an umlaut (äöü), it is not displayed (example: Mäuse = muse) "German".

I have the problem only in Steam, in Linux (example: Browser, LibreOffice, TeamSpeak, Terminal, Kate) it works.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Just enter a word with an umlaut or just the umlaut.

With best regards

Hello @Supervisor83, this sounds like #5704.

Please verify that the output of locale -a includes a line with en_US.utf8.

If it doesn't, please uncomment (or add) en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen as root to regenerate the system-wide locales.
