[Bug 1395401] [NEW] The UI allows creation of invalid locale names

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Public bug reported:

I'm not using Kubuntu, but I help out with answering *buntu questions
sometimes, and I would like to report an issue I have met several times.

In the GUI for language settings, you apparently set the language and
the country separately. For example you can select English and France,
which results in the invalid locale name "en_FR.UTF-8". Apparently this
should not be allowed to happen.

This is the latest Ask Ubuntu question caused by this annoying design
flaw:

Fixing it should be given high priority IMNSHO.
