@dreamon You are probably right when assuming that your observations are related to the fixes of this bug.
If your regional formats setting (second tab in Language Support) is something else but "Chinese (China)", your choosing "Chinese (China)" as the display language makes gdm set the LC_MESSAGES variable to "zh_CN.UTF-8". Since LC_MESSAGES overrides LANG, setting LANG before launching an app is not sufficient. Try this instead: env LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 firefox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553162 Title: Set $LANGUAGE if the user picks a different locale in gdm, so that language-selector and gdm stop disagreeing -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
