[Bug 1847618] Re: language selector ignores input methods other than xim and none in my current locale

[kenn]

I don't know it's an architecture dependent issue because some users who  reported this bug which I also have: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/996791
mentioned architecture specific issues.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.6 with multiarch support, I installed it as 32 bit OS but switched to 64  bit OS by means of `dpkg --add-architecture amd64` and I installed 64 bit kernel and libc stuff. 
I have been running it for three years without problem.

I am also suffering from this bug may be related to the current bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1350393/

I filed this bug some time ago :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1773517

If I run the following command `im-config -l` I only get:
xim
unless I run it like `LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 im-config -l`
in which case I get :ibus uim scim xim

Title:
  language selector ignores  input methods other than xim and none in my
  current locale

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I use Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. I can not reach other input methods such as
  ibus, fcitx in my current locale which is LANGUAGE=tr_TR.UTF-8. It's
  not listed in unity-control-center>Language Support>Keyboard Input
  Method System. If I launch unity-control-center from terminal which is
  using different locale "LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 unity-control-center" then
  there is no problem, all of the installed input methods are in the
  list.

  I also tested "python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/ImConfig.py"
  it also ignores input methods other than xim and none.
  If I export "LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8" it lists all the other input methods.
