Title:
  Unwanted Chinese locale since 12.04

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, I get some applications (eg gnome-tweak-tool) in Chinese (while my system should be 100% French).
  i have never installed Chinese packages.

  It appears that i have now LANGUAGE=fr_FR:zh_CN .

  here are some details :

  nico at nico-laptop:~$ localedef --list-archive
  en_US.utf8
  fr_BE.utf8
  fr_CA.utf8
  fr_CH.utf8
  fr_FR.utf8
  fr_LU.utf8
  nico at nico-laptop:~$ locale
  LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=fr_FR:zh_CN
  LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
  LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.UTF-8
  LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.UTF-8
  LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_ALL=

  there is some chinese there...
  i tried to suppress it via :

  sudo gedit /etc/environment     which gives :

  PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
  LANGUAGE="fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en"
  LC_MESSAGES=""
  LC_CTYPE=""
  LC_COLLATE=""
  LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
  LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"

  but there's no chinese here...
  also, in bleatchbit , no chinese stuff appears...
