It is very bad that you forgot to fix this bug before 6.0.1 release. So bug exists in 6.0.1.1518683525 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x86_64.
Temporary fixed by desktop launcher with "xterm -e": env LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" xterm -e /home/nikolay/Software/scilab-6.0.0/bin/scilab
This may break scilab in for example upcoming Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
