Describe the Issue
Users who have their local language setup to a non-English setting can experience unexplained and hard-to-debug errors when going through the RDB course (for eg when trying to type a simple CREATE DATABASE statement in psql, they may not get any response back because the semi-colon is not recognized as seen in this forum post: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/build-a-database-of-video-game-characters-build-a-database-of-video-game-characters/787741 )
Adding a lecture to the start of the course to explain how to change language setting to English would help mitigate that. With the help of an LLM, here are some instructions on how they can do that that we could include: https://gist.github.com/hbar1st/2b9bf4835d7c26615434d9a3c7d23524
Expected behavior
As fCC is used by people around the world, and the RDB course uses tools like psql that may not work well with non-english keyboard language settings, we should give instructions about this at the start of the RDB course to help prevent hard to debug issues from coming up.
