enabling locales

Hello, I am building LEDE 17.01. I have a problem enabling locales, which some of my applications need.

This was the only option which I have found inside the menuconfig to contain the term locale

CONFIG_BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT:
  Enable this if your system has locale support and you would like
  busybox to support locale settings.
  Symbol: BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT [=y]     

This is from inside a running lede image

/bin/ash: locale: not found

I have not found anything describing locales in the project's documentation. Could you give me some pointers?
