Confirmed. Also, LANGUAGE should be "zh_CN:en", but that's a minor problem. $LANG must be a correct locale, i. e. "zh_CN.UTF-8".
What happened here is that gettext uses Chinese, but determines LC_CTYPE as "C", because "zh_CN" is invalid. So a lot of programs have trouble displaying non-ASCII characters properly. ** Summary changed: - sound indicator shows "Label Empty" + Installing with Chinese (Simplified) creates broken /etc/default/locale ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Status: Incomplete => Invalid ** Package changed: indicator-sound (Ubuntu Oneiric) => ubiquity (Ubuntu Oneiric) ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: Martin Pitt (pitti) => Ubuntu Installer Team (ubuntu-installer) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771510 Title: Installing with Chinese (Simplified) creates broken /etc/default/locale To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/771510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
