Public bug reported:

I have always been a locale-fallback feature user. With Lubuntu 18.04
LTS I haven't any problem.

The computer users are fluent in those languages, except in English (the
default one). If there's a string untranslated in one language, it jumps
and try to show the string of the next listed language and so on.

In most of the programs the fallback works, but the LXQt menu, some
details like some dialogs, don't work well, even editing
/etc/default/locale file:

    LANG="pt_BR.UTF-8"
    LANGUAGE="pt_BR:pt_PT:gl_ES:es_ES:en"
    LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_TIME="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_MONETARY="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_PT.UTF-8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_PT.UTF-8"

It doesn't work even installing and configuring locales with language-
selector-gnome, which is not installed by default on Lubuntu 20.04.

If I try to change the main language, I see that most of translations
exist, either in one language or another. So the problem is with the
fallback, determined by the LANGUAGE = section in /etc/default/locale.

*Using Spanish as first language:*

*Using Galician as first language:*

We are not the only ones with this problem, polyglot people or
inhabitants of regions with languages with two different spelling
regulations can be combined in this way.

Thank you for your attention.
