[Bug 1850275] Re: English-Europe locale missing

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

This is indeed a glibc thing, Sebastien.

And it has been discussed upstream a lot, for instance in
<https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22473>. Awaiting the
result of that discussion, we won't implement any Ubuntu only locales in
Ubuntu.

@Luca: As you mentioned, there are ways to achieve approximately what
you want. You mentioned the Irish locale, and there is also the
en_DK.UTF-8 locale which actually was created to serve as a European
English locale.

Bug description:
  Hello. I'm not reporting a 'bug', perhaps a missing feature.
  I try to explain it. I would like to use my system with Italian locale and the English language, but it seems not considered. Usually, I choose English for language and Ireland for Time/Date/Currency and it works; but I'm wondering why it isn't contemplated the use of the English language for Italian users.

  At least, why don't we insert English-Europe locale settings like in
  Windows systems?

  Sorry for bothering and I hope that I explained well what I mean.
  Thanks in advance for the time on it. Cheers.
