It seems that the issue here is that Software Center only works as expected when using the LANGUAGE variable
Some tests, running in a non-English locale [1]: $ LC_ALL=C software-center $ LANG=C software-center Expected: Software Center runs in the default POSIX locale (US English) Result: The menus are in English, the UI is in the user's locale $ LANGUAGE=en software-center Expected: Software Center runs in the default POSIX locale (US English) Result: as expected, the whole application runs in English [1] Here's my current locale: LANG=ca_ES.utf8 LANGUAGE=ca_ES:ca:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="ca_ES.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="ca_ES.utf8" LC_TIME="ca_ES.utf8" LC_COLLATE="ca_ES.utf8" LC_MONETARY="ca_ES.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="ca_ES.utf8" LC_PAPER="ca_ES.utf8" LC_NAME="ca_ES.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="ca_ES.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="ca_ES.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="ca_ES.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="ca_ES.utf8" LC_ALL= -- Wrong language shown in Ubuntu Software Center https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560591 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
