So apparently this is fixed in GTK greeter. But what about KDE greeter?
KDE users are still without any language selector in LightDM.

Vincent,
You can use Language Support, which is the primary tool for
language/locale handling in Ubuntu.
But talking about default... Both Xubuntu and Lubuntu ship lightdm-gtk-
greeter as the default greeter, and they have choosen to enable the
language chooser by default. Standard Ubuntu users
Thnx for the tip. Although, Language Support requires the user to not
only set it's language in KDE but also using this utility...
Still , I agree that the language selector should be there as default.
thnx! :)

Here's a good reason for hat:

operational environment. We have a full french/english setup and KDE
allows to switch between both languages perfectly fine BUT:

As from 12.04 the language chooser is in the GTK greeter, which is not
included in a fresh Ubuntu installation. In other words you need to
install the package lightdm-gtk-greeter separately. Once that's done,
you should be able to activate the language chooser in accordance with
the above
I've tried #16
There is no /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:
/etc/lightdm$ ls
lightdm.conf unity-greeter.conf users.conf
Adding a line show-language-selector=true to unity-greeter.conf (as an
alterative to unity-gtk-greeter.conf) does not work.
How do we activate the language selector?
At the moment I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and I would like to have the
ability to have a language chooser on login screen. I tried the
suggestion in comment #16, but even after restarting the computer I
didn't see any change at login screen.
$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
I didn't mention yet, not having a language chooser makes trouble-
shooting and reporting bugs harder, as you don't know what's the
message/menu/button/whatever in english.

Promising news; thanks Robert!
I haven't checked out this option yet. When I do, I suppose that a few
questions on what you say in comment #17 will be straightened out.
I for one hope that the language chooser will be enabled by default in
Ubuntu 12.04, and that related packages will be
There is now an optional language selector in the GTK greeter for
desktops that require it. To enable it set show-language-selector=true
in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf. Fixed in 0.9.8.

Status: Triaged = Fix Committed

Side effects of this change:
- If the language selector is not enabled language settings are not changed.
- If Language is set (either in ~/.dmrc or in AccountsService) this the
daemon will set LANG after PAM sets variables but before the session wrapper is
run:
- This will override PAM if you
@Gunnar, It seems the language chooser behavior is a bit strange. Below
is my test steps on Beta1.
1. At Installation, select language: Simplified Chinese, and location:
Taiwan. The assumption is many Chinese work in Taiwan , and vice versa,
who usually prefer to see Simplified Chinese UI.

@Kevin,
Thanks for reporting those observations. However, they are not lightdm related,
but probably related to ubiquity, so I ask you to please file a new bug report.

for legacy reasons it would be nice to be able to set it from the greeter.

a definite requirement, but this doesn't necessarily have to be solved

In response to Guido's statements:

Good point. For new accounts I think you would expect to need to be

A very valid usage for this feature is for public computers in libraries.
We don't know in advance what the language the users will need.
This is especially useful in countries where many languages are in use
simultaneously, such as Swiss, India, Singapore, or others.
