Libre office does not open files with cyrillic names nor files in directories with cyrillic names in Manjaro 19 KDE. What should I do to fix it? 10x

When I try to open files (.odt, .ods etc.) they do not open if with cyrillic names and/or in directories with cyrillic names. If I change the names in question with latin letters no problem is observed. I would like to ask for help and fix this issue. Thank you !

Read these guidelines and ask a good question. In particular:

• what is the locale?
• how do you try to open the files?

P. S. Make the title short.

P. P. S. Most probably, the question is about your distro/DE, not about LibreOffice. I have no problems with Cyrillic/Greek/CJK in file names both in openSUSE / KDE and in Windows 7.

Thank you for the comment! You were right - the problem is system-wide and was linked with the locale settings. I soled it with the help of this :

1. locale in terminal gave me the output:

locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory

etc.

2. I deleted ~/.cache as recommended here :
   [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue (Page 2) / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums

3. I manually added : LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 line in the /etc/locale.conf file

4. restart

Voilà
