Instead of changing the error message I propose a code change so that the availability of HOME is tested independently of the existence of ~/.profile.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1018621] Re: "Language for menus and windows" is not saved if .profile is missing
Thanks for taking the time to report this issue!
This is the code in accountsservice (user_change_language_authorized_cb() in
src/user.c):
gchar *profile_path = g_build_path ("/", user->home_dir, ".profile",
NULL);
if (!g_file_test (profile_path, G_FILE_TEST_IS_REGULAR)) {
/* SetLanguage was probably called from a login greeter,
and HOME not mounted and/or not decrypted.
Hence don't save anything, or else accountsservice
and ~/.pam_environment would become out of sync. */
throw_error (context, ERROR_FAILED, "not access to HOME yet so
language not saved");
goto out2;
}
As you can see, the purpose of the test whether ~/.profile exists is to
find out whether HOME is available (please note that /etc/skel includes
the file .profile, at least in the latest Ubuntu releases). If there is
a safer way to test for the availability of HOME, please let me know,
and I'll be happy to submit a suitable merge proposal.

I had problems with changing language from english (to danish). It's

The last line " not access to HOME yet so language not saved" made me
investigate conf files in my homedir. I noticed that ~/.profile did not exist

This fixed the problem:
$ echo "" > ~/.profile

However, nothing seems to be written to .profile, neither before/after

If I remove ~/.profile the bug re-appears completely. I.e.
bug appears if and only if ~.profile is missing.
