I agree that the system language as set in /etc/default/locale should be
the fallback language, so I prepared two merge proposals that should fix
it. It would be great if you could fix a 14.04 install and test the
packages I uploaded to my PPA at

Title:
  Language selection always falls back to English

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “lightdm-gtk-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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.
