This is indeed a glibc thing, Sebastien. And it has been discussed upstream a lot, for instance in <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22473>. Awaiting the result of that discussion, we won't implement any Ubuntu only locales in Ubuntu.
@Luca: As you mentioned, there are ways to achieve approximately what you want. You mentioned the Irish locale, and there is also the en_DK.UTF-8 locale which actually was created to serve as a European English locale. ** Bug watch added: Sourceware.org Bugzilla #22473 https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22473 ** Package changed: language-selector (Ubuntu) => glibc (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: glibc via https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22473 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850275 Title: English-Europe locale missing Status in GLibC: Unknown Status in glibc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello. I'm not reporting a 'bug', perhaps a missing feature. I try to explain it. I would like to use my system with Italian locale and the English language, but it seems not considered. Usually, I choose English for language and Ireland for Time/Date/Currency and it works; but I'm wondering why it isn't contemplated the use of the English language for Italian users. At least, why don't we insert English-Europe locale settings like in Windows systems? Sorry for bothering and I hope that I explained well what I mean. Thanks in advance for the time on it. Cheers.
