You need to generate your local files. This is done use the locale-gen command. The argument needed is the language and charset you want to set the system to.

For example, if I want my system to use English (US) with UTF-8, I would run the following command.

locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

It looks like you are from India and might want to run something like this.

locale-gen en_IN.ISO8859-1
