[Bug 1699540] [NEW] zh_TW locale at "lzh_TW" (note the 'l'), should be "zh_TW.utf8"

 

Public bug reported:

This is for the default locale, not a known problem for the user
settings.

I have had strange "ghost" problems.

# GNOME problems

GNOME installs to Taiwan Chinese with no Mandarin input I recognize.

I must install gcin according to the instructions a Taiwanese student
introduced me to here: https://github.com/inkVerb/Vubuntu-
info/blob/master/verbs/gcinGNOME

gcin has a default method, the only method Taiwanese can use. No gcin,
no Taiwanese users. I have mentioned this in the daily email discussion
and the team did note it.


# MyPaint

I first noticed the locale problem when MyPaint wouldn't start on my x64
bit Ubuntu (Unity) machine, but would on my x32 bit GNOME machine. I've
had the problem on x64 GNOME machines also. When I opened mypaint from
the x64-unity terminal, I got an error message that lzh_TW wasn't
accepted by mypaint or something.

I changed the default locale to en_US and MyPaint opens with no problem
on x64 Ubuntu.

# Other people

This guy also had a similar problem:

# Summary

That's all I saw and know. Love you all.
