Title:
  Installer does not respect selected locale for user password-setup

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Ubiquity uses the wrong locale for user setup.

  If I install Ubuntu 18.04 with the live installer, selecting e.g.
  German as language and using LUKS encryption the installer uses the
  correct locale (de_DE) for the LUKS password but always the wrong
  locale (en_US) for the user password.

  This results in the effect that you can boot into Ubuntu but are
  locked out because the password for your user is wrong.

  On both places (LUKS password and user password) the selected locale
  (here de_DE) should be used.
