Public bug reported: New users are created with the admin's current language (the value of the LC_MESSAGES environment variable) as the initial language. It would make more sense IMO to let the system language, as set in /etc/default/locale, serve as the initial language at user creation.
I suppose that 'the culprit' is the cc_common_language_get_current_language() function in panels/common/cc- common-language.c. Personally I question the adequateness of that function, so one idea would be to replace it with e.g. a cc_default_system_language() function that parses /etc/default/locale. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823741 Title: Dubious initial language at user creation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/823741/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
