Public bug reported:

MythTV 0.24 introduced a new auto-configuration feature, which performs
locale specific auto-configuration when performing a clean install of
MythTV. This improves the usability and the out-of-the-box experience,
as a number of settings are now autoconfigured depending on the locale
in use.

Wiki page: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Locale_Configurations

Expected behaviour:
-----------
On the first startup of mythbackend or mythtv-setup, the program will populate the locale specific settings to the database *if* the database is clean. Mythtv-setup and/or mythfrontend will afterwards load the settings on startup and use the translation matching the locale. Using a locale like da_DK.utf8 will load the Danish translation files, set the setting for the PAL TV standard, set default program guide languages, set the date format, enable subtitles by default, etc.

The issue:
-----------
This does currently not work on the daily ISO build of Mythbuntu 11.04 (23rd of February). The locale configurations are never loaded, the setup as well as the frontend are shown in English with static predefined (US?) settings.

AFAICT, Mythbuntu doesn't use a clean database when doing an initial
install. The initial database should be created with the upstream mc.sql
file.

How to forecefully get the expected result step-by-step on 11.04:
-----------
- Select Denmark/Danish when installing Mythbuntu 11.04 or make sure the locale is set:
$ locale
LANG=da_DK.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

- Kill frontend and backend if running.
- Drop the database:
$ mysql -uroot -p -e 'drop database mythconverg;'
- Create a new clean database:
$ mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/mythtv/sql/mc.sql
- Change .mythtv/config.xml to login as root.
- Run: Applications -> System -> MythTV backend setup
- You'll now be presented to a language-selector screen, in which Denmark/Dansk is selected by default. Accept this.
- mythtv-setup will now populate the Danish settings to the database and show mythtv-setup in Danish.
