Hm, no, gdm is supposed to know both LANG and LANGUAGE, the upstart job
explicitly sources /etc/default/locale before launching gdm-binary:
if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
. /etc/default/locale
export LANG LANGUAGE
elif [ -r /etc/environment ]; then
. /etc/environment
export LANG LANGUAGE
fi
export XORGCONFIG
exec gdm-binary $CONFIG_FILE
and this also seems to work here:
$ sudo cat /proc/`pidof gdm-binary`/environ | xargs -0n1 | grep ^LANG
LANGUAGE=de:en
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$ sudo cat /proc/`pidof gdm-session-worker`/environ | xargs -0n1 | grep ^LANG
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=de:en
