[Bug 1231520] Re: Desktop image sets LC_TIME based on country, not selected language

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

- The Desktop image allows a language to be chosen for the installation.
- But when the locale settings for the system are actually set, they are
- ignored.  Perhaps they are taken from the geographic location, but that
- would be a very wrong guess in countries where there is more than one
- official language.
+ From a duplicate:
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. Boot from a desktop ISO
+ 2. In ubiquity-dm, select 'Deutsch' then 'Ubuntu Installieren'
+ 3. Proceed with the rest of installation, keeping the defaults (In my case ubiquity preselects 'Paris' for the timezone and a French keyboard layout)
+ 4. Reboot after installation and login
+ 
+ ACTUAL RESULT:
+ Most of the desktop is in German but the time indicator is in French
+ 
+ EXPECTED RESULT
+ Time indicator should be localized
+ 
+ Original report
