Assuming this a language-selector problem since this is the only thing to choose language during installation that I can think of so far.
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/language- selector/wily/revision/39 looks revelant, but it actually happened on 2008-03-06 -- almost 8 years ago, and there seems to be nothing about zh_HK before then. Could you please point out when `before' actually refers to? * * * And, well, a +1 on this bug, since some fallback is indeed necessary here -- not only for zh_HK, but also for other smaller zh locales. This tree roughly illustrates the 'relative distance' between locales. zh: Hans: # simp script CN SG Hant: # trad script TW _geo_near_: # you might need a map here HK MO For quite a while zh_HK users have been using zh_TW translations as their main source of fallback text, especially for many translations hosted on GNU TP. I haven't heard from any zh_MO users yet though. Cross-script fallback is not recommended since: a. these chars do look quite different. (A user of one script is often able to recognize the other, but they look toooooo different and can almost be spotted with a glance.) b. the terminology used show significant difference across scripts. See also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757867#c2 on some locale info. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #757867 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757867 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535214 Title: zh_TW is not set as fallback locale when selecting Hong Kong as location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1535214/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
