I believe that the problems that are addressed in this bug mainly fall into either or both of two categories:
1. - The LANGUAGE and LANG env. variables are often mixed up. LANGUAGE is meant to control the display language, while LANG is meant to control other locale aspects such as date formats etc. 2. - Changes in language-selector of LANGUAGE get overridden by gdm. I have uploaded two branches to Launchpad and proposed that they are merged into lp:ubuntu/gdm respektive lp:ubuntu/lucid-updates/language- selector. Related patches that take care of both problem categories have been attached to this bug. We also have the Firefox related problem, described both here and in LP: #550222. I added a patch to the latter that makes Firefox behave like one would expect. Actually, with these three patches implemented I can seamlessly switch languages and other locales back and forth without them interfering with each other. Hopefully those of you who test the patches will make the same experience. ** Patch added: "gdm_partial-fix-553162.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/553162/+attachment/1644524/+files/gdm_partial-fix-553162.debdiff -- Set $LANGUAGE if the user picks a different locale in gdm, so that language-selector and gdm stop disagreeing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553162 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
