This is intentional behavior. It means (for applications which use gettext for choosing the display language) that a string which lacks a pt_PT translation is displayed using the pt_BR translation instead.
In other words, the installer 'guesses' that this is what most European Portuguese users prefer. For Brazilian Portuguese users, the installer sets LANGUAGE to: LANGUAGE=pt_BR:pt:en Isn't that a reasonable way to deal with it? And, as I mentioned in comment #2, you can change it using Language Support, if you want. ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673493 Title: In an European Portuguese setup LANGUAGE variable is set as LANGUAGE=pt:pt_BR:en instead of LANGUAGE=pt:pt_PT:en To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/673493/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
