** Description changed:
It seems that for locales which have got language variants (e.g. ca and
ca@valencia, sr and sr@latin), language-selector sets the locale-related
environment variables incorrectly as the variant instead of the main
language, despite the main language being selected
Marking it as high in the translations project: this has already caused
some confusion to Catalan users not living in the Valencia area.
Both variants are understandable regardless of the region, but choosing
one over the other changes the established (and expected) terminology
users are used to.

Title:
Language selector sets incorrect values for variables in locales
Hi David!
Can you please let us know the output of these commands entered in a
terminal window:
cat /etc/default/locale
cat ~/.profile

Hm, I fixed it by setting the correct locale in my installation, and the
person who reported it to me as well, so I cannot post the data from
those.
I've reinstalled on a virtual machine with Internet connection and
marking the checkbox to download updates on the installer. I couldn't
reproduce
I see. Please just let me say that while the installer writes to
/etc/default/locale, it does not touch ~/.profile AFAIK. I don't think
the installer even tries to get it 100% right in all cases, but it
rather trusts that the user easily can fine tune the settings via
language-selector. Possibly
