Vincent, You can use Language Support, which is the primary tool for language/locale handling in Ubuntu.
But talking about default... Both Xubuntu and Lubuntu ship lightdm-gtk- greeter as the default greeter, and they have choosen to enable the language chooser by default. Standard Ubuntu users of lightdm-gtk- greeter have to explicitly change a config setting to see the language chooser (if they even know that it exists). I think it's time that the language chooser feature is enabled in lightdm-gtk-greeter by default. I have linked a related merge proposal to this bug report. ** Changed in: lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/803858 Title: No language chooser on login screen in LightDM Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: LightDM doesn't appear to have a language selection choice in the Login screen, we need this to switch between Chinese and English for regular use, this feature is present in GDM, and we are really want to have it in LightDm as well, including correct setup of the zh_CN.utf-8 locale.
