Right, understood. The installer tried to set reasonable locales based on the selections you made. > It sounds like something isn't working properly during the install. It works as expected. But there is an inconsistency under the hood: While the UIs you encounter after the installation only show language options which represent translations, the installer does not care about that. So in your case the installer set en_NZ.UTF-8 everywhere. But since there are no en_NZ translations, that locale is ignored with respect to the display language. In case of Xubuntu, with lightdm-gtk-greeter, you instantly are enforced to select one of the available translations, and the locale is altered accordingly. So please focus on the actual behavior of your desktop. Are you encountering a real problem? I don't think you are. What I think you should do is asking yourself which of the available translations are closest to the English you speak in NZ, and select that language. Based on your geographical location I would suspect it's en_AU, but really don't know. > Do I need to report a new bug? No need to. If you can convince me that there is a problem which needs to be fixed, I'll be happy to open this bug report again.

The locale settings were simply the result of following the standard install process and confirming that my location was Auckland when requested.

[Bug 1562279] Re: Can't set en_NZ locale
Considering that there is no longer any en_NZ 'translation', it's pointless to use the en_NZ.UTF-8 locale for language. It results in the original untranslated (en_US) strings being showed. That's why Language Support and lightdm-gtk-greeter work as I said. The installer may set LANG to en_NZ.UTF-8 etc., but it doesn't change the behavior compared to en_US.UTF-8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562279 Title: Can't set en_NZ locale To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-en-base/+bug/1562279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1562279] Re: Can't set en_NZ locale
I just installed the latest daily ISO for Ubuntu. Immediately after installation, the command "locale" shows the following: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en LC_CTYPE="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_NZ.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Which is more or less what I'm wanting. This leads me to think that the problem may be with the way I installed this instance of Xubuntu in the first place (from ubuntu-core, if that's relevant). Time for a reinstall, I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562279 Title: Can't set en_NZ locale To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-en-base/+bug/1562279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1562279] Re: Can't set en_NZ locale
@axel: Not the same issue. @Jane: The options in Language Support and lightdm-gtk-greeter for setting language are there for selecting the translation for menus and messages. Previously the English language packs included a en_NZ 'translation' from en_US, but it seems to have been dropped in Xenial. The reason is probably that there were too few translations to justify its inclusion. So this is not actually a bug, but rather a consequence of the currently applied threshold for including translations. Given that, possibly you may now want to use en_GB or en_AU instead of en_US, if any of those is closer to the English dialect of New Zealand. ** Changed in: language-pack-en-base (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562279 Title: Can't set en_NZ locale To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-en-base/+bug/1562279/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
