Connect with SSH to your machine and execute next command
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
After this, you will see a list of languages and countries. You have to select with space bar the language and country you need. In my case, as I live in Spain, I have selected es_ES.UTF-8. It is recommended to choose UTF-8 version.
Finally, Ubuntu will ask you to select the default language to use in the operating system.
After that, you should configure the language in the keyboard with this command:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
Now, we will configure the timezone
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
I have select the country (Europe) and the city (Madrid) where I live, so the timezone has been updated.
Finally it is recommended to reboot the system to apply the changes.
sudo reboot
