Tested both Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio in Secure Boot enabled EFI virtual machines, with proposed updates enabled and the correct calamares- settings-[l]ubuntu[studio] package installed for each test. Installed package, then installed system, rebooted, logged in, launched all LibreOffice subapps (Writer, Calc, etc.), and ensured that they rendered in the correct language. Both tests passed. ** Tags removed: verification-needed verification-needed-jammy ** Tags added: verification-done verification-done-jammy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970270 Title: [SRU] LibreOffice localization is not working out of the box Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu source package in Impish: Won't Fix Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu source package in Kinetic: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] * Due to an error in our configuration, users who install Lubuntu in a language other than English end up with LibreOffice still displaying in English.
