I had this problem in 12.04 LTS Precise. System installed in English, but later played with locale and/or GUI regional settings. After a while, I reverted everything to English, but software-center still used French for the short descriptions of packages (and English for the full descriptions).
I deleted "/var/cache/software-center/" and "/var/cache/apt-xapian- index/", which made software-center crash. Running sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-center fixed it, and everything is in the correct language. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560591 Title: Wrong language shown in Ubuntu Software Center To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/560591/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
