[Bug 771510] Re: Installing with Chinese (Simplified) creates broken /etc/default/locale

[Martin Pitt]

Confirmed. Also, LANGUAGE should be "zh_CN:en", but that's a minor
problem. $LANG must be a correct locale, i. e. "zh_CN.UTF-8".

What happened here is that gettext uses Chinese, but determines LC_CTYPE
as "C", because "zh_CN" is invalid. So a lot of programs have trouble
displaying non-ASCII characters properly.

** Summary changed:

- sound indicator shows "Label Empty"
+ Installing with Chinese (Simplified) creates broken /etc/default/locale

** Changed in: ubuntu-translations
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

** Package changed: indicator-sound (Ubuntu Oneiric) => ubiquity (Ubuntu
Oneiric)

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Oneiric)
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Oneiric)
