Telegram - locale error

[Shlomo Solomon]

In this case, Telegram (on Kubuntu) is installed with snap. I personally
do not like snap and install from snap only if there is no native
package. But, if I understand it correctly (and I may be wrong), there
is some sort of "sandbox" here so the app is running with it's own
environment, dependencies etc. That may be the reason none of the
suggestions that I've received (on and off the list) have worked.
