Thanks both for your efforts to improve Ubuntu by reporting this issue!
It looks like the LANGUAGE environment variable somehow is assigned some
odd value, with non-ascii characters, which appears to be the reason for
the crash. There should be a line in the .profile file in your home
directory that looks something like:
export LANGUAGE="fr:en"
or
export LANGUAGE="ru:en"
If you haven't already solved the problem, could you please try to
1. switch to some other user language than French/Russian,
2. switch back to French/Russian again, and
3. click the "Apply System-Wide" button.
Please let us know whether that worked without problems.
If you did something unusual, that might be the cause why LANGUAGE was
assigned the odd value in the first place, it would also be valuable to
know.
