You chose british english -> locale for that is en_GB (is you chose american english, that doesn't make any difference). Then you chose Belgium as a country -> default locale is fr_BE. Now the program tries to see if en_BE exists. Since it didn't exist in our list of available locales, it splitted between the locales for languages (taking the default, en_GB) and for country (taking the default, fr_BE). So we need to install locales-fr so that glibc has necessary information about fr_BE locale. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

Have you actually read -=-=-- Easy: choose dutch as a language and belgium as a country. Sounds logical to me. -=-=-- Frederik's message? If you chose Belgium (or any other -=-=-- Yes, I pretend to. -=-=-- officially multi-lingual country such as Switzerland) you should be presented with a choice for the official language instead of making one language the default. If that's impossible or hard to do, so be it but at least show a message on how to get the other locale. -=-=-- N/A. The language selection is made first. The country selection comes after the language selection is done. -=-=-- Don't make assumptions based on common impressions... -=-=-- I don't think that's what I'm doing. And FYI I'm not inventing anything myself, this is implementation from Pablo's advices. If you think Pablo does i18n following common impressions.. You might want to read my explanation in bug 1597, it might help you. -=-=-- P.S.: This is a new attempt at clarification. I didn't find it useful to put it in the database. You can add if you want or just resolve it. Sorry, if I am wrong. -=-=-- The database is good because it keeps easy-to-access traces of a given discussion, it helps other people and is a good web resource. Please never remove the CC to the bugzilla bug. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

Well, it would not be so easy to do, from the source-code point of view.. Functionally, it should not cause any problem to you to have fr_BE as the locale for the country-related stuff, does it? -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
