Public bug reported:
Just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin (64 bit) last weekend and
noticed that changing the display language and regional formats via
language selector does not have any effect unless changes are applied
system-wide.
Steps to reproduce:
1. On a clean Precise install, navigate to System Settings -> Language support
2. Select desired display language (e.g. German) by moving it to the top of the
list; select desired regional format setting (e.g. German/Germany) from the
"Regional Formats" tab
3. Log out and back in, open a terminal and run "locale"
Expected result:
Display language and regional formats are set according to user's choice --
i.e. here German and German/Germany. Terminal shows that all locale variables
are set to "de" and "de_DE" respectively.
What happened instead:
The display language remains set to (American) English and terminal reports
that locale variables remain set to "en" and "en_US". The system does not
honour the settings applied through language-selector.
Workaround:
Clicking "Apply system-wide" on both the "Language" and the "Regional Formats"
tabs on language-selector will change the language for the whole system. This
will also apply the respective language settings on the user level. In my case
this is no problem, as I am the only one using this system. But this is
certainly not a solution for multi-user setups.
Note: On a side-note, I noticed that there are a variety of settings for
display language and regional formats in System Settings -> Keyboard
language, both of which I had not noticed on Oneiric. It is unclear to
me why these options should appear under "Keyboard language" and IMHO
this is very confusing from a user perspective. In any case, selections
applied here do not appear to have an effect on display language or
regional formats either.
System information:
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), 64 bit
Language selector version: 0.79
Hardware: ThinkPad Edge 13, Intel i5 CPU
