tested this quickly, under vivid it was broken in both language selector and gnome-control-center. with GNOME 3.16 (gnome3-staging PPA) it seems to work, so its probably a bug in gnome-desktop3 that has been fixed upstream

I set the system locale to Korean language, which worked okay. When I tried to set regional format (date, time, currency, number, metric, etc.), however, the options are only limited to 5 regions: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. I do live in the US, but I want to set the regional format in Korean because that goes with the system language. I currently set the regional format to that of Canada because I am not familiar with US system of yards, feet and pounds. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the date format shown on the middle of the task bar is a mixture of English and Korean (Frankenstein-ish). As I browsed through the bug report launchpad site, I found this bug has a long history which dates back to Ubuntu version 9.04. I have installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS on my other computer and it does not have the same bug. I guess it has something to do with the newly introduced "systemd"? I would very much like to see this bug is fixed ASAP (at least before the release of 15.04 proper version). I love GNOME interface, but this bug annoys me. Regards.
