Unlike the UI of language-selector, the UI of ubiquity is not designed to distinguish between language and regional format or populate the LANGUAGE environment variable. Rather than considering this to be an inconsistency, so far I have thought that ubiquity sets the minimum needing to proceed, while language-selector provides an interface to fine-tune the language and regional format settings.
