Looks like this is a dupe of 584249. There's a workaround in that one
that worked for me:

session required pam_env.so

Add that line at the end of /etc/pam.d/common-session is supposed to
force it to read the ~/.pam_environment after an encrypted $HOME is
mounted. Maybe that's all Ubuntu needs to do in its distro to fix this
bug? Not sure what any side effects might be, but so far everything is
working awesome for me with that fix.

Title:
  Language selector fails to set language and regional formats on user
  level (Precise)

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin (64 bit) last weekend
  and noticed that changing the display language and regional formats
  via language selector does not have any effect unless changes are
  applied system-wide.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. On a clean Precise install, navigate to System Settings -> Language support
  2. Select desired display language (e.g. German) by moving it to the top of 
the list; select desired regional format setting (e.g. German/Germany) from the 
"Regional Formats" tab
  3. Log out and back in, open a terminal and run "locale"

  Expected result:
  Display language and regional formats are set according to user's choice -- 
i.e. here German and German/Germany. Terminal shows that all locale variables 
are set to "de" and "de_DE" respectively.

  What happened instead:
  The display language remains set to (American) English and terminal reports 
that locale variables remain set to "en" and "en_US". The system does not 
honour the settings applied through language-selector.

  Workaround:
  Clicking "Apply system-wide" on both the "Language" and the "Regional 
Formats" tabs on language-selector will change the language for the whole 
system. This will also apply the respective language settings on the user 
level. In my case this is no problem, as I am the only one using this system. 
But this is certainly not a solution for multi-user setups.

  System information:
  OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin), 64 bit
  Language selector version: 0.79
  Hardware: ThinkPad Edge 13, Intel i5 CPU
