 Hi Steve,

as Mr "As the en_GB translation team I have no problem with an
exception."

I'd like to ask / point out a little 'funny' with the language packs.

Long story, cut short, was trying to help with language packs last night
and
as the only other language I know more than 2 words of is French (I know about 10 words ;-) ) I put the French language pack onto my system and
popped it into 1st place, it dutifully went into French (So far, so
good). I
then moved English(GB) back to the top of the list, so that French was
in
2nd place and applied it, but my log in screen remained in French. It
was
only when I moved the French pack out of the active areas did I get it
back
into English. My guess is that there is not an en-GB for the front
screen
and it is defaulting to the 'catch all' English, if there is a 2nd
language
pack there then it is correctly using that as the next in order of
preference.

Regards,

Phill.

The login screen is Ubuntu and I'm assured has been translated 100%
into en_GB




I’ve been playing with this and there does seem to be some sort of problem with this on Lubuntu. Going to try on Ubuntu. Haven’t seen any bug reports about it though.


No problems in Ubuntu 10.04, so it appears to be a Lubuntu problem :(

It would appear some language setting isn’t getting set during the initial install (I think) I uninstalled English then reinstalled it. With English as first choice and French as second I get know problems.
