[Bug 857326] Re: Selecting another preferred language in Lubuntu is confusing

 

Preferred language = ducth  (nederlands = nl)

contents of .profile
export LANGUAGE="nl:en"
export LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
cat /etc/default/locale

LANGUAGE="nl:en"

LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8" 
LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8" 

========
Select English (just moved tab to the top)  no logout/no reboot

Note! Dutch (in black) is on top, English (in Black) is just below
Dutch. Can't move English above Dutch ... I have to move Dutch below
English. As soon as I moved Dutch below English, Dutch is greyed out
(ok).

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)
