[Launchpad Bug Tracker <574540@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

- Migration from 9.10 to 10.04.
- Default language set to dutch nl-be. (family computer)
- My desktop set to us english
- resulting in mixed dutch english gnome ui

When I looked around a bit "locales" command told me that env var LANG
was set to us english, but LANGUAGE var was set to nl be. So apparently
selecting language (e.g. at login) sets the one but not the other

I was finally able to fix it by adding
export LANGUAGE="en_US.utf8"
to .profile in my home dir.

Took quite a while to find this.
