> Where/how did you set the user specific value for LANG? (I'm assuming that you did not use Language Support or any other GUI.)
I don't have any modification about locales after the  installation.
I am sure that LightDM persists wrong language value. And I know that LANGUAGE and GDM_LANG not set by GDM and SDDM.
