I've seen quite a few statements like this: "I only want to use British English. Why am I prompted to install language support packages for South Africa?" The explanation is that that's how the language pack system is designed currently. Either you have English - all English - installed or not. But some users are (for to me unknown reasons) very picky about installing only what they need. > What's wrong with having things still display in the language that the > user has picked after an update? Nothing if you ask me. I'm trying to minimize the need to use Language Support for pulling missing language support instantly after a fresh install, and have suggested that the installer does as much as possible instead. This is the bug: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1294858 Please feel free to add two words to it. ;) Involving Software Updater as outlined above would be another step in the same direction. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
