[Bug 1954713] Re: Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 (manual / autoinstall) language pack not installed despite chosen language

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

The server installer has never (to my understanding anyway) installed
language packs. Once you've installed ubuntu-desktop you can use 'check-
language-support' to find the packages you should install for the
configured locales.

The new subiquity-based desktop installer will do this by default, fwiw.

Title:
  Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 (manual / autoinstall) language pack not
  installed despite chosen language

Status in subiquity:
  New
Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  During a manual or autoinstall the defined language is not being
  applied completely to the final system state. Despite `locale` showing
  the configured language, all console replies are still in the
  installers native language.

  Another confirmation: Using autoinstall and applying the `ubuntu-
  desktop` package, using Settings -> `Region & Language` the Language
  and Formats fields are completely empty.

  Though the locale is being set properly, the language pack is not
  being installed nor applied.

  Missing packages: `language-pack-LANG` and `language-pack-LANG-base`
  Missing packages in case of desktop package: Everything related to get everything in the desired language`
