Sniff!  Sorry to tell you that: it does not work!

The point is that the file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/scheuer is
rewritten (without the language settings) at each connection.  Too bad!

And I don't understand either why the language setting does not fall
back to the system language, defined in /etc/default/locale, but to the
default one (English).

It may be an installation problem:  if I remember well, I installed a
Xubuntu 12.04, and upgraded to 12.10, 13.04 then 13.10 (but it worked
quite well under 13.04 - I did not have this problem, at least).

Title:
  Language selection always falls back to English

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded two amd64 computers from 13.04 to 13.10, and discovered on both that the language is set to English (whereas I selected French language at the beginning of the upgrade).
  Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login.

  I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the
  /etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language-
  selector seems to force default English as default at each connection!

  Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
