[Bug 1153331] Re: "Try Ubuntu" only possible in a few languages

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Unfortunately we can only fit so many language packs on the cd. The
strings / text one sees during "Install ubuntu" does ship all the
translations we have, and one should be able to complete the
installation in French. If at the same time internet connection is
available french language packs will be downloaded and installed such
that the final system will have french localisation.

Based on the heuristics of determining % of world population speakers we
try to include languages in the order of most spoken. In that list
french is the next one in line and at times is added/removed from the CD
image to gain space.

Title:
  "Try Ubuntu" only possible in a few languages

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm testing a French daily build of Ubuntu 13.04.

  Just after hitting "Test Ubuntu", I opened gnome-language-selector.
  It told me that the languages were not completely installed and I answered to remind it me later.

  Strangely, in the list of the "Language of the windows and menus", French does not appear at all, but instead I get a bunch of languages (excepted English) that I'm not using :
  - English,
  - Deutsch (Deutschalnd)
  - English (Australia)
  - English (Canada)
  - English (United Kingdom)
  - English (New Zealand)
  - English (United States)
  - Espanol
  - Portugûes (Brasil)
  - Portugûes (Portugal)
  and probably Chinese (I cannot reproduce the signs bu you can check the screenshot)

  This might be considered as "normal" as the languages are not
  completely installed (as the message said), but still remains very
  strange for a basic end user testing Ubuntu...
