I am also experiencing this on 64 bit 10.04 final, upgrading from 9.10.
Lots of perl "locale" errors on the terminal while upgrading... then,
gnome-language-selector unusable (window disappeared half a second after
launch), until I changed (I think) export LC_ALL=C, did sudo dpkg-reconfigure
locales
and then managed to run gnome-language-selector.
Anyway, now EVERYTHING (gnome menus, calendar, firefox, bash window, ...) is in
English except a handful of applications ("update manager", "about gnome")
which are half-english half Spanish.
>echo $LANG
ca_ES.utf8
>echo $LANGUAGE
es_ES:ca:es:en_GB:en
>echo $GDM_LANG
ca_ES.utf8
>cat .dmrc
[Desktop]
Language=ca_ES.utf8
Layout=es
and gnome menus in English (Appliations, Places, Systems) keep appearing
whatever language I choose in the login screen.
This is a show-stopper for people which does not speak English (my father is
happy with ubuntu 9.10 but I don't dare to upgrade should he lose Spanish
support): an operating system which does not speak your language is almost as
useless as one that hangs.

GDM and language-selector should agree on setting the LANG variable
