[Bug 855251] Re: Error in special characters in gnome-language-selector

 

Ok, thanks for the additional info. I'm glad you made it work, btw. :)
Hopefully you are still willing to answer the below questions.

When I said that 'pt_BR' is not a valid locale name, I meant that it
shouldn't have been a valid locale name considering that this is Ubuntu,
which by default only uses UTF-8. (I don't know if Lubuntu differs in
this respect, though.)

Anyway, it seems like you in addition to the pt_BR.UTF-8 locale also
have a locale for latin1. Can you please let us know what the 'locale
-a' command outputs? I'd guess that the lines

pt_BR
pt_BR.iso88591

are included in the list.

Did you possibly play around with locales in a way that might explain
how the latin1 locale (ISO-8859-1) is available on your computer?
