This bug is still there in Ubuntu 20.10. You can change locales, but you should be able to choose something more sensible in the installer. If the automatic guess is only good for a handful of people, manually is better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

This is still an issue in Ubuntu 20.04. I changed it manually: Settings > Language and Region > Manage Installed Languages Install/remove languages choose: other (it only shows a small list at first), and check "Dutch". Afterwards, go to tab "Regional Formats". Here, you'll see "Deutsch" as a

Physically in The Netherlands, set location in the installer to Brussels, Belgium. And I have German date in my top bar in 18.04 LTS... A choice would indeed be nice, if there's more than one official languages for the location. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

1) I suppose that those responsible for the design of the installer want to keep it simple. But, as I explained in comment #27, you can choose afterwards. 2) That would be quite a different approach to locale handling. A huge project. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

Re: [Bug 1295627] Re: Wrong language (German) after fresh install

1) why not let the user choose ? When a country has multiple languages, just show the list. 2) what if a Belgian user like me wants Belgium-English ? That's just impossible to obtain... For once, Windows does it better with this regard. Le mar. 18 sept. 2018 à 18:55, Gunnar Hjalmarsson <

[Bug 1295627] Re: Wrong language (German) after fresh install

@OliWare: You get a Belgian locale, just not the one you want. @Jonas: I assume the same. We can't remove a locale for this reason; we have the locales provided by glibc. But I suppose that the installer (ubiquity/localechooser) could be tweaked to 'guess better'. That would require some hard

@gunnarhj, "guessing" a locale should not use a locale used only by a very small percentage of people in Belgium. >From the format I'm going to assume it's picking the first locale it can find? In that case I would actually suggest to remote de_BE from the default locale listing as it's a very

Lol, 'this is not a bug'. The installer clearly guesses wrong, only 1% in Brussels speaks German. I want my installation in English but with the Belgian locale. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

[Bug 1295627] Re: Wrong language (German) after fresh install

Just noticed this bug report. It's not a bug. You don't explicitly set the regional format in the installer, but the installer 'guesses' that setting based on the time zone location. So if you state Brussels for time zone, it seems to pick the de_BE.UTF-8 locale. If you want something else, e.g.
