Accidentally I found one reason why the Serbian language is hidden in the gnome-control-center GUI. In the add_all_languages() function in panels/common/cc-language-chooser.c the upstream code includes a call for gnome_get_all_locales(). That call is replaced by a call for gnome_get_all_languages() via ubuntu-region-langpack-install.patch. So I have submitted a MP where I propose that we simply disable ubuntu- region-langpack-install.patch for now (that feature for installing languages doesn't work anyway).
I think that the underlying reason why disabling that patch makes a difference is that the Serbian locale names according to /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED do not include the ".UTF-8" part. However, the alias "sr_RS.UTF-8" should really be considered valid. With that patch disabled, two Serbian options show up in gnome-control- center. The bad news is that both refer to Serbian (Serbia), i.e. the sr_RS.UTF-8 locale, so you still can't choose the latin option (the sr_RS.UTF-8@latin locale) from gnome-control-center. (You can choose it from Language Support.) Further investigation needed. The remaining problem is most likely related to the fact that Serbian-Latin (just as Catalan-Valencia) is represented by a locale with a locale modifier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1823778 Title: Unable to set Serbian as Language To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1823778/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
