I agree, Ki Bum Lee. Installing Language Support (the language-selector-
gnome package), and using that tool until this bug has been fixed, is a
proper workaround. It does exactly the same thing as "Region and
Language" in gnome-control-center should do.

Title:
  Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada,
  Australia, and NZ

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 Beta 2. I set the system locale to
  Korean language, which worked okay. When I tried to set regional
  format (date, time, currency, number, metric, etc.), however, the
  options are only limited to 5 regions: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New
  Zealand. I do live in the US, but I want to set the regional format in
  Korean because that goes with the system language. I currently set the
  regional format to that of Canada because I am not familiar with US
  system of yards, feet and pounds. As you can see in the attached
  screenshot, the date format shown on the middle of the task bar is a
  mixture of English and Korean (Frankenstein-ish).

  As I browsed through the bug report launchpad site, I found this bug
  has a long history which dates back to Ubuntu version 9.04. I have
  installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS on my other computer and it does not
  have the same bug. I guess it has something to do with the newly
  introduced "systemd"?

  I would very much like to see this bug is fixed ASAP (at least before
  the release of 15.04 proper version). I love GNOME interface, but this
  bug annoys me. Regards.
