[Bug 1084745] Re: Gnome displays wrong language

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hi Rüdiger,

Thanks for your effort to improve Ubuntu by reporting this observation!

Actually it's not a bug, though. English (US) does only include
'translations' for a few packages with message strings where somebody
has found it motivated to change the programs' English message strings
to something more American.

By having German as the second language you tell the system to display
messages in German if no English (US) translation is available. Since
the program language is English, it makes no sense to have a non-English
second language. If you just drag the German item downwards, log out,
and log in again, you'll only see English messages.

If you click the "Help" button in Language Support, you find a help
document that may further explain how it works.
