[Bug 1562279] Re: Can't set en_NZ locale
Considering that there is no longer any en_NZ 'translation', it's
pointless to use the en_NZ.UTF-8 locale for language. It results in the
original untranslated (en_US) strings being showed. That's why Language
Support and lightdm-gtk-greeter work as I said. The installer may set
LANG to en_NZ.UTF-8 etc., but it doesn't change the behavior compared to
en_US.UTF-8.

Title:
Can't set en_NZ locale
Status in language-pack-en-base package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
After updating language-pack-en and language-pack-en-base in Xubuntu
16.04, I can no longer set en_NZ.UTF-8 as my locale in lightdm-
greeter.
Current locale, after fiddling with language support, is:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_NZ.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
Previously, everything was "en_NZ.UTF-8"
I imagine that the same issue is going to apply to a number of
English-language locales other than Australia, Canada, UK and US.
These four, plus a generic "en" (which appears to default to en_US)
are all that are displayed in the lightdm-greeter language menu.
