@Tim,
I noticed a similar problem at Ask Ubuntu:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/616688
So I had a look, and I think the problem lies in two Ubuntu patches, so
it hasn't likely been fixed upstream.
* gnome-desktop3, ubuntu_language.patch
* gnome-control-center, 52_region_language.patch
ubuntu_language.patch adds the collect_locales_from_ubuntu() function to
gnome-languages.c. collect_locales_from_ubuntu() is called from
collect_locales() and populates the hash table
gnome_available_locales_map via the add_locale() function.
Since the function cc_common_language_get_initial_regions() in gnome-
control-center calls gnome_get_all_locales() in gnome-languages.c, which
in turn uses the gnome_available_locales_map hash table, it incorrectly
grabs the list of languages.
Originally (in 3.6) the call for /usr/share/language-tools/language-
options happened directly in the function which populated the list of
available languages. To achieve something similar, this could be done:
- Drop the addition of collect_locales_from_ubuntu() and the changes to
collect_locales() from ubuntu_language.patch
- Let cc_common_language_add_user_languages() call
/usr/share/language-tools/language-options directly somehow (via
52_region_language.patch)
Another approach might be to replace the use of gnome_get_all_locales()
in cc_common_language_get_initial_regions() with a 'locale -a' list.
