From here:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man8/locale-gen.8.html

If a list of languages and/or locales is specified as arguments, then
locale-gen only generates these particular locales and adds
the new
ones to /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local. Otherwise it
generates all
supported locales.

So this is the first step.

The second is to do:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
