Ok, I will look more into this...  But I am not sure it can persist in
the Live Image... I don't think there is persistence for it... since
this isn't a Casper based system... I could see if adding the tiny bit
of Ubuntu specific stuff will allow it to be persistent though....

I think I know what the issue is here... did the Dialog showing the
installed locales show up?
It should list all the current locales you have installed.

I used:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
as my guide...
particularly
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale#Changing_settings_permanently

hmm...
Hold on... line 13, I left off the quotes on accident... that should fix
the language issue I think.

Ok, try this version and see if it works for you.  I think the changes
should persist in an installed OS, though I don't whether setxkbmap
persists.
