# Typesense crashes importing into a locale:ja field on Ubuntu ARM64 Docker

## Whats going on

Typesense crashed when importing Japanese documents into a field declared with `locale: "ja"` on the Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 Docker image. The crash was reproducible by creating a collection with a `string` field with `locale: "ja"` and then importing any document. The issue was labeled as a locale bug and confirmed by the Typesense team.

## What actually fixes it

This was a real crash bug, fixed in Typesense 0.25.0. If you hit it on an older version, upgrade to 0.25.0 or later.
