Wait now... I take it that it _looks like_ Chinese is installed (in
language-selector's "Language" tab), while it's actually _not_ installed
as shown in LanguageSelectorLanguagesInstalled.jpg. Is that what you
mean?

So while you would have expected the black items

  Nederlands
  English

at the top of the list, the only item displayed in black is English? It
makes me guess that you use v. 0.52 of language-selector and that it's
due to a bug that only appeared in that version. Can you please upgrade
to language-selector 0.54, so we can sort out this part of the
confusion?

Hmm.. Are you really sure it's a bug #859961 type of crash? I ask
because that bug only appears in v. 0.53.

Right.

That's a mystery, considering that neither Chinese nor German locales
were generated according to LanguageInstaller2.jpg.

Can you please let us know what the following commands outputs:

  locale -a

  cd /var/lib/locales/supported.d; cat $(ls)

I suggest that we postpone our talking about this issue.

For now I'd appreciate if you could upgrade language-selector to v. 0.54
and answer my questions above.

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)
