I did test cloud-init in isolation (without subiquity) with the
following config:

#cloud-config
locale: de_DE

and the locale was correctly set in /etc/default/locale but did not take
effect yet. I think this is expected behavior from cloud-init as a
locale change cannot take effect in already running processes.

I repeated the test, forcing a reboot, with:

#cloud-config
locale: de_DE
power_state:
    mode: reboot

and the locale took effect.

Could you, Jan, try with the following subiquity config?

#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  user-data:
    locale: de_DE
    power_state:
      mode: reboot

Bug description:
  using the 'locale: de_DE' cloud-init user-data option results in an
  ubuntu installation displaying en_US on first boot login screen. When
  checking the region and language options in the UI login screen is set
  to 'German' but when checking the above selection for languages no
  languages are installed with the system. Keyboard layout 'de
  nodeadkeys' was set and active as expected.
