No Greek in terminal


I have some problems with setting locale:
In terminal I can not write Greek letters. I need to write English and Greek. There is no problem in other apps like Libreoffice, Leafpad etc, where I can write Greek and English.
Also in locale -a I get some errors:

Code:
$ locale -a

I don't know about LFS specifically, but in general this works.
