Bug report

03:59:23: Cannot set locale to language "English (U.S.)".
03:59:23: locale 'en_US' cannot be set.

What operating system do you use ?

Just installed arch, running mate desktop (but am not very tech/just come from Mint).

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

1. open the gui

What is the expected behaviour ?

selecting 'English' within settings wouldn't cause an error about locale

What happens instead ?

pop-up every time says locale 'en_US' cannot be set (am in UK)

I've tried opening settings.json, and the python file, changing en_US to en_UK, but it reverts when close yt-dlg-gui. Log in .config is empty. Ran update, and the cli updated, but the pop-up still happens.

locale -a ... C en_GB.utf8 POSIX

Have checked /etc/locale.gen, and en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 is set

Thanks for including yt-dlp as a backend, too.

You can provide more information (screenshots, Logs ...) or sequences of steps for reproduction the error ?
