[Bernard Decock <857326@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gunnar, thank you very much for your response.

First of all, I can see that chinese is installed in Lubuntu as well as in Linux Mint Katya (See screendumps). Notice that my
preferred language = ducth (nederlands) and this language is active, but is greyed out?

When I start the language-selector after reboot, I get a crash (bug
859961).

ll /usr/share/locale-langpack reveals that nor "deutsch" nor "chinese"
is installed.

After regenerating the locales, both "deutsch" and "chineses" are still in the selector (dutch is still greyed out, although it is
my preferred language. I can't select it neither ... dialog doesn't respond to the selection (due to the 859961 bug?)

>No, that's a misconception. If you change the user language from Dutch
to English and log out, you end up at the login >screen. If you log in
again instantly, you should see English as the display language.

Actually I switched the preferred language, logged off and logged back in. Language wasn't changed. Only after reboot did the changes take place (can't test this now, because the language-selector-dialog doesn't react on a selection).
When I changed the language, I pressed "apply systemwide"-button. (Maybe this option requires a reboot?)

Title:
  Selecting another preferred language in Lubuntu is confusing

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The menu for selecting another preferred language seems to be
  confusing or is buggy.

  1. When I set English as the preferred language after I installed Lubuntu with preferred language = dutch,
  the dutch gets grayed out in the menu?? (Although it is still installed). After logging off, the preferred
  laguage wansn't changed. One has to reboot the system before it's getting changed

  2. The menu shows uninstalled languages (such as chinese? and
  deutsch??)

  3. When Dutch is selected back as the preferred language, then both Dutch and English are displayed in black (which
  is ok)
