Title:
  Ubuntu Ubiquity Installer sets wrong language locale based on set time
  zone

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu Installer sets the wrong language locale when some
  timezones are set/automatically set for example when I set the
  language to English and set the timezone to Nairobi (Kenya) GMT+3, the
  locale that is set by the installer is not an English locale but a
  non-English one which is Oromo-KE instead of English US or English UK
  based on keyboard layout chosen in installation. Correction of the
  error after installation is possible on Gnome graphically but requires
  the terminal to properly correct it in KDE and XFCE.

  I request a change to the installer to solve this issue which is to
  allow users to set a type of the main Language selected for example
  when English is selected at the start of installation, the next step
  before setting the keyboard layout should be the English type, for
  example, English-UK, English-US and others so that the correct
  language locale is set. An example of the change is the System76 Pop
  OS installer and the calameres installer.
