Public bug reported:

Some days ago I changed to ubuntu 13.10. Since then the language support
for the german indication of e.g. the menus in evoution doesn't work any
more. All settings regarding the use of german in gnome in the
preferences menu referring to programs are set correctly. Other
aplications I tried still have the german "locales". The command 'locale
-a' gives out

C
C.UTF-8
de_AT.utf8
de_BE.utf8
de_CH.utf8
de_DE.utf8
de_LI.utf8
de_LU.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

The version of evolution according to...
apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installiert:           3.8.4-0ubuntu1
  Installationskandidat: 3.8.4-0ubuntu1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 3.8.4-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Since I supposed some missing entry in the locale default, after consulting a 
forum for internet advice I tried to add a second line with "POSIX" to the 
file. But afterwards even the normal gnome desktop would show up in english. So 
I restored the file and removed the respective line. Since gnome at this point 
still refused to use the german locale,  I deleted the english locales to force 
the use of german and succeded. But this will for sure cause problems if any 
program wil ask for the english locale to work. I would appreciate very much if 
the language support for gnome and evolution would again work as it did in my 
elder versions of ubuntu.
