Can't exec "locale": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 16.
Use of uninitialized value $Debconf::Encoding::charmap in scalar chomp at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 17.
dpkg: error: configuration error: /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch:1: unknown option 'foreign-architecture'

It's possible that your PATH setting is bad. Make sure that echo $PATH as a non-root user lists /usr/bin and /bin, and as the root user also /usr/sbin and /sbin. However, dpkg emits a warning in that case so if that warning was absent then this isn't the problem.
The locale command is part of a package that is marked as “essential†(libc-bin). To uninstall it, you have to type a full sentence at the confirmation prompt. This isn't something you can do by accident.
You might have removed the binary. Once again this won't happen automatically, it has to be a consequence of something you did while running as root. Be careful when running as root, only use the root account to do things that you can't do from your normal account. To reinstall the libc-bin package including the locale command, run this command as root:
apt-get --reinstall install libc-bin
You don't appear to have a lot of Linux experience. Kali Linux is a distribution for experienced security professionals, designed to run security-related tools in a virtual machine easily. It isn't designed for a permanent installation and it isn't designed for beginners. If you aren't an experienced Linux user, use a more friendly distribution such as elementary OS, Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

@GiorgiGavasheli Runexport LC_ALL=C; unset LANGUAGEand try again. If you still get this error, then there's something seriously broken and without knowing how you got there it's difficult to help you. I'd suggest reinstalling, and this time don't go about editing or removing files when you don't know what they're for.
