I have modified the GDM patch attached to bug 553162, and now that patch fixes the problem with programs, e.g. Firefox, that don't recognize $LANGUAGE. Even if the solution provided as an attachment to this bug works well, the code in the GDM patch is more elegant IMO.
If you want to deal with this issue, without implementing the bug 553162 patches, and assuming that you want menus and messages translated into German, you can just add this line to the bottom of your ~/.profile file: export LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8" -- Firefox interface language set to LANG, ignores LANGUAGE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
