Public bug reported: even on a fresh install and since many may years, despite even Debian Bug reports - e.g. #756277:
There is an error with locale information for Kenya in ubuntu installation. Language is automatically set to 'Oromo' (understood only by a 3% minority of Ethiopian descent) yet the official languages in Kenya are (the not selectable) en-KE (somehow British English, Kenyan flavour, paper format A4, currency KES, currency format KES 123,456.00 or 123,456/= ) and (the also not selectable) sw-KE (somehow Swahili, Kenyan flavour, paper format A4, currency KES, currency format KES 123,456.00 or 123,456/= ) >>> please make work both locales, en-KE (default) and sw-KE. (Remove Oromo from Kenyan locales) ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1763025 Title: ubuntu installations in Kenya are problematic because default language is little known Oromo, not English or Swahili To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1763025/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
