After much testing, it was determined that the installer-prompt was
properly setting the locale, so it's not the issue. Calamares did indeed
pick up on the changed locale (obvious through the session.log) but then
changed the language used based on GeoIP data. I think the reason why
those of us in the US couldn't repeat it is because (again, according to
the log), the country code was being reported as "unusable."
Since GeoIP has been known to be problematic over time (the "unusable"
country code being further evidence) and since the canonical user
experience should be installing via the installer-prompt, we have opted
to remove the GeoIP checking in the welcome module. For those installing
via the live environment, it should be simple enough to select their
preferred language, just as they would on the installer-prompt.
Fix is in calamares-settings-ubuntu 1:24.04.18.
