Public bug reported:
When doing a sort in gnumeric, Locale can be changed to something else
than the current locale. The list, however, contains only en_IN (Indian
english) and C (US english), in addition to the current locale. Thus for
example the several english locales available in default ubuntu
installations are not visible. Likewise, an added fi_FI.UTF-8 doesn't
work. The same thing appears in the text file import (that's where I
found it originally).
The reason for this is at go-locale-sel.c:507 (svn rev. 2295, of
goffice): The existence of the locales is tested with setlocale
function. However, in the flie, the locales are defined without the
encoding system, e.g. fi_FI. This seems to have been used earlier, and
generating fi_FI -locale produces an ISO-8859-1 locale. All (?) UTF-8
locales have the .UTF-8 in the locale name. Thus none of these locales
would appear in the list when installed.
I'm not sure how/which project should do the fixing here, so I just put
it to the one where I found the problem. In general, I feel that the
locale generation should be made more clear...
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and the package version is 1.8.3-3ubuntu2, but I
think that the problem occurred already earlier (at that time I was
using iso-8859-1)
