[Bug 434601] Re: Package descriptions etc display only in the language of whoever installed the OS

[rduke15]

I had this problem in 12.04 LTS Precise.

System installed in English, but later played with locale and/or GUI
regional settings. After a while, I reverted everything to English, but
software-center still used French for the short descriptions of packages
(and English for the full descriptions).

I deleted "/var/cache/software-center/" and "/var/cache/apt-xapian-
index/", which made software-center crash.

Running

    sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-center

fixed it, and everything is in the correct language.

  Binary package hint: software-store

  if the cache was geneated with a english locale and then is used by a
  user with german locale, the cache will be english only. this needs to
  be fixed by storting a language attribute in the cache and forcing a
  re-generation (or a generation of a new one) if they don't match.
