How do I select Locales in the "raspi-config"

Question

I am trying to generate locales with raspi-config

I can't figure out how to tick the box on this interface.

Return, tab, right arrow... they all move the cursor, or bring me to the next screen, but I can't figure out how to add an asterisk into the square brackets

Configuring locales
Locales are a framework to switch between multiple languages and allow users to use their language, country, characters, collation order, etc.

Please choose which locales to generate. UTF-8 locales should be chosen by default, particularly for new installations. Other character sets may be useful for backwards compatibility with
older systems and software.

Locales to be generated:

Here is the default one pre checked:

Answer 1

Highlight the desired item using the up and down arrows, then use the spacebar to select. Finally either Tab or Enter to complete the form.

Answer 2

If raspi-config is difficult and frustrating, there's an easier way!

1. Open the file /etc/locale.gen in your editor, and un-comment the locale you wish to use. For example:

   sudo nano /etc/locale.gen
   

If you don't wish to use the default, you may remove it by commenting it; i.e. add the # symbol as the first character in the default line - just as most or all others are.

2. Run/re-run locale-gen; i.e. at the command line prompt of your shell:

   $ sudo locale-gen
   

   fwiw, locale-gen is located in /usr/sbin, and included in the default PATH environment
