Package: debian-installer Version: 20250803+deb13u5 Severity: normal Tags: l10n X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hello. When I installing this Debian GNU/Linux trixie system, I have selected 'Chinese (Traditional)' in the '[!!] Select a language' screen, which is the first step in the debian-installer, then in the next screen of selecting my location, I selected 'China'. After this point, the UI language of the installer completely switched to Simplified Chinese, and the final installed system has 'LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8', which is completely against my initial selection. In my understanding, the location selection should only provide a hint for the default time zone and the default network APT sources; it shouldn't change the language, as my preferred language has already been set by the first screen. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.94+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
