Public bug reported: New installation of Kubuntu 14.04 and upgraded via kubuntu-ppa. Initially, country is set to "United States". The locale settings are the following:
~/.kde/env$ cat setlocale.sh export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en:el:en export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 Then, I change Country to Greece, via System Settings. Locale changes as follows: export LANG=en_GR.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en:el:en export LC_NUMERIC=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GR.UTF-8 As far as I know, en_GR.UTF-8 is not a valid entry. A severe loss of functionality is that accents cannot be set properly to greek vowels. Changing manually setlocale.sh to: export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en:el:en export LC_NUMERIC=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR.UTF-8 solves the issue.
