[Bug 1494378] [NEW] MythTV in Mythbuntu does not set UI language automatically

 

Public bug reported:

In Mythbuntu (currently using 14.04.3), during installation, I selected
'Chinese (Traditional)' as the UI language and 'Hong Kong' as the
location, so the LANG env variable is zh_HK, but MythTV does not
automatically set its UI language according to the language settings of
the OS. MythTV should be able to detect the OS's language settings, so
maybe it is intialized before language info is available?

Also, as not all languages supported by Ubuntu are also supported by
MythTV, please setup a 'fallback' mechanism. For instance, please make
MythTV to use zh_TW if Ubuntu is set to, but fallback to use zh_HK if it
is not available.
