          That are the locale coming from Windows.



          You can set a different locale in you shell startup scripts



          $ grep LANG .bashrc
          export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

          $ grep LANG .bash_profile
          export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

          • may be echo 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8' >> ~/.bashrc as otherwise you will destroy the current content. If he does not know what grep is doing we are very low on the Cygwin knowledge
