[Bug 1440275] Re: Ubuntu GNOME only allows regional format setting for US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ

 

The ultimate test of this kind of settings is to install the Catalan
language and try to set language and formats for "Catalan - valencia".
When doing so, another need for change to gnome-desktop3 appeared (new
merge proposal submitted). I also made a change to accountsservice,
after all (just uploaded).

** Changed in: gnome-desktop3 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => In Progress

** Also affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 Beta 2. I set the system locale to
  Korean language, which worked okay. When I tried to set regional
  format (date, time, currency, number, metric, etc.), however, the
  options are only limited to 5 regions: US, UK, Canada, Australia, New
  Zealand. I do live in the US, but I want to set the regional format in
  Korean because that goes with the system language. I currently set the
  regional format to that of Canada because I am not familiar with US
  system of yards, feet and pounds. As you can see in the attached
  screenshot, the date format shown on the middle of the task bar is a
  mixture of English and Korean (Frankenstein-ish).

  As I browsed through the bug report launchpad site, I found this bug
  has a long history which dates back to Ubuntu version 9.04. I have
  installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS on my other computer and it does not
  have the same bug. I guess it has something to do with the newly
  introduced "systemd"?

  I would very much like to see this bug is fixed ASAP (at least before
  the release of 15.04 proper version). I love GNOME interface, but this
  bug annoys me. Regards.
