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.

For an explanation of the current design of language-selector, you may
