A couple of weeks ago it was possible to use the language chooser, even
if it was buggy. My original proposed branch fixed the most striking bug
at the time. However, as a result of 04_dmrc_set_LANG_only.patch in
1.0.1-0ubuntu4, the language chooser in the LightDM version that was
shipped with the 11.10 release can't be used in Ubuntu at all.

The updated MP results in a decent language chooser IMO. A build with
the now proposed branch is available in my PPA to facilitate testing:
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc

In the proposed branch the language chooser is disabled by default.
Considering the proposed improvements, I think it would be better if the
chooser was enabled by default, so people would find it more easily.
(Please note that we are only talking about lightdm-gtk-greeter, not the
default LightDM greeter.)

The accountsservice MP makes the language options appear sorted. Besides
suggesting that both the branches are merged and uploaded to Precise, in
accordance with the previous discussion mentioned in comment #1 I
suggest that they are also uploaded to lightdm-proposed and
accountsservice-proposed in Oneiric.

Title:
  Language selector broken in Ubuntu

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If you enable the language selector in lightdm-gtk-greeter, the
  initial value is incorrectly based on the LANG environment variable
  instead of the current language, and whatever option you select, the
  session language is still the previously saved user language.
