27439	Document how to add locale for osX on Unit Tests/Troubleshooting section for contribution	Patricia Sousa	alix-	"A lot of errors on the test run for contributors have to do with incorrect locale settings. 
There is a troubleshooting section for this that provides instructions for Debian (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/#troubleshooting). 

Add documentation on how to set this definitions for osX. 

This solution worked for me: 
Check locales: `$ locale`  
As `LANG` wasn't set, the following command 
`export LANG=en_US.UTF-8` 
set the LANG and tests ran successfully.
