Public bug reported:
after
sudo aptitude install language-pack-kde-zh-hans
I found out that the system default language is Chinese. The problem is
that I need the computer to understand Chinese, not Chinese to
understand the computer.
The really annoying thing is that there is no easy way to switch back to
English, the font size that is normal for English is too small for
Chinese, and there is no way to copy the text from GUI controls to a
robotic translator (like google or mdbg.net).
Expected behaviour:
the language pack does not change the selected system language, or at least
asks the user if the change is desirable
Actual:
the language pack at installation time silently changes the system language,
making the system unusable.
