Good system:
cat /etc/default/locale
#  File generated by update-locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"


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

These two systems are running Ubuntu 18 (good system) and Ubuntu 20 (bad
system), both LTE versions.
The bad system is a full GUI version whereas the good one is a Server version
without a GUI.
