  1. Install Locales support for musl using the apk command:
apk add musl-locales 
apk add lang # pull lang packages for existing installed pkgs
  1. List all locales installed. For example:
locale -a 
locale -a | more
locale -a | grep -i BR
  1. Set MUSL_LOCPATH using the export command:
export MUSL_LOCPATH=/usr/share/i18n/locales/musl
  1. Test it using the date command:
LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 date
LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 date
  1. Add the following to your shell profile file such as $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile
export MUSL_LOCPATH=/usr/share/i18n/locales/musl
