Public bug reported:
Ubuntu automatically sets the English US language as the system language
for the region that I reside in which mainly the English UK language as
one of its official languages but not the English US language. When
using the Language Support app to attempt to change the system language
and regional formats to English UK, the English UK option is greyed out
and cannot be selected in the Languages tab. To properly change the
language in Ubuntu, I used the Gnome settings to change the language and
the regional formats, restarted the shell, and used the Language Support
app to apply the regional formats system-wide so that it can apply to
the display manager as well. In Xubuntu or any other official Ubuntu
flavour that uses the Ubiquity installer for installation and only uses
the gnome language selector for language and region formats selection.
Changing from one format of a language to another for example from
English US to English UK is not possible graphically with the Language
Support app alone because the desired language format, for example,
English UK is greyed out and not selectable. The attached screenshot
illustrates the issue but in this case, attempting to change from
English UK to English US by using the language support app alone to
attempt the language change.
