Public bug reported: This is not really a bug but a much needed feature (I think atleast).
If you like me want all programs to use english for all phrases (so if something goes wrong, you have a chance google on it) but still want all other things to be "swedish", ie time format, money format, numerical format ( . vs ,) you have no possibility other than hacking /etc/environment or other config files. This is mine: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL= Wouldn't it be nice to let the user select a advanced mode when all these could be specified using the pretty gnome interface? Much like MS Windows that let the user select language BUT override time format and such things. I DO think you do not need to be a power user to want english phrases but swedish for the rest. 12 hour clock is really AWFUL and never used here in sweden. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Possibility to set language from programs indepedant of time format etc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
