this is the output of the locale command. i guess my locale is utf8. why am i still getting this error: configure: error: Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual

Previously i compiled an old version of vlc which " ./configured"correctly. But there were errors while compiling. In the fr.po file

i solved it myself
i just downgraded the Qt version from 6.8.0 to 6.2.13

That looks like a bug in the version of Qt shipped by your distro.

i installed Qt through the Qt online installer not the package manager.
i did install it through the package manager first but i got the same error, then i installed Qt through the official installer, also the maintenance tool made it a lot easier to downgrade.
