Thanks very much for the additional info! I'm glad that it (almost)
works.

It struck me that this might be a Lubuntu specific issue. We should try
to find out if it means that the possibility for users to set their own
language preferences are in effect disabled in Lubuntu. It doesn't
matter much when there is only one user, as long as the system wide
settings are recognized, but it's important on multi-user systems. Hope
you can help me test my theory.

At the bottom of my ~/.profile file I have these lines:
export LANGUAGE="en"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

Can you please confirm that your ~/.profile contains similar lines?

Then let's find out whether your display manager (lxsession?) sources
~/.profile at login:

Your system language settings are stored in /etc/default/locale. Can you
please let us know the output of 'cat /etc/default/locale'.

As a next step, could you please set another user language from
language-selector. So if your prefered system language is English,
select Dutch as the user language or vice versa. Then reboot, login and
check if menus and dialogs are displayed in the user language you
selected.

TIA

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)
