[Bug 2035044] Re: gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats: Please indicate if it is overriden by LC_ALL

[David Hedlund]

> If you want the settings be applied system wide, there is the button
"Apply System-Wide" in Language Support for the purpose. Pressing that
button will make changes to /etc/default/locale and should be effective
at next login (or possibly a reboot is needed). But LC_ALL must of
course not be set anywhere.

I tried that a few weeks ago. After I logged out and in:

$ cat /etc/default/locale
#  File generated by update-locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8"


$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_ALL=


$ locale | grep en_US | grep LC_
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"


The latter variables are not set to "en_CA.UTF-8"

Title:
  gnome-language-selector -> Regional Formats: Please indicate if it is
  overriden by LC_ALL

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  * Open gnome-language-selector, and click on the Regional Formats tab.
  * Change the value in the `Display numbers, dates and currency amounts in the usual format for:` drop-down list, say `English (Canada)`
  * Close the gnome-language-selector window.
  * Run this in a terminal: `your_locale="en_US"; sudo update-locale LANG="$your_locale".UTF-8 LANGUAGE="$your_locale" LC_ALL="$your_locale".UTF-8`
  * Again, open gnome-language-selector, and click on the Regional Formats tab. As you can see, it appears like `English (Canada)` even if it is overridden by LC_ALL ("English (United States)")
