[I_Have_Treasure (We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.)]

Welcome to the ParrotOS Community
try
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

If you want to use a different language just replace the language code en_US to your desired language code.
example:- zh_CN ,de_DE ,fr_FR ,etc

it is a bug in new packages. We are tracking it and trying to fix it in next release. Close this topic because it is duplicated and owner fixed the problem.
