I have the same problem with further ramifications. (My home directory
is not encrypted.)
On installation the system defaulted to English US. I suppose this is
normal. On trying to set it to English GB via the language support
applet, the applet showed the change initially but did not effect the
change, even after a reboot. The applet did, however, effect the change
to UK regional formats in the Regional Formats tab. The applet
terminated unexpectedly and set an automatic bug report.
I eventually changed the default language directly by editing
/etc/default/locale. That worked. The language support applet then also
showed that the language had been set to English GB. From this, I deduce
that the applet is simply not rewriting the first line of
/etc/default/locale.
Another user on this machine needs Brazilian Portuguese. This user's
language was also now shown as the new default: English GB. This user
tried to set the user-specific locale to Brazilian Portuguese. The
applet did not effect the change, although, again, it did effect the
change to the Brazilian regional formats.
All appropriate language packs are installed.
Since the applet seems not to be working at the moment, please could you
tell me which file I should edit to set the other user's user-specific
language to Brazilian Portuguese, leaving mine as English GB? All this
worked perfectly in 10.04 two years ago.
Thanks.
