Hi,

I removed the system-wide setting for LC_ALL, resulting in the appended locale output but the language still remains english, not german as selected in the login dialog.

d...@jupiter ~ % locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

d...@jupiter ~ % echo $GDM_LANG
de_DE.UTF-8

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Josselin,

thank you for your response. What would be the official way to get a translated desktop and keep english as the default locale for console logins? I'm surprised that the selection at login doesn't override the default selection.

The default selection was made in a broken way. Had dpkg-reconfigure
locales simply been used, it would have set only LANG, not LC_ALL.

So you need to either:
      * only set LANG (as we do by default) in /etc/default/locale (or
        in whatever place was used to set LC_ALL)
      * or override LC_ALL in your .gnomerc

Cheers,
