[Bug 50843] There is no preferences application for localization

[Nicholas Allen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: preferences

I would expect there to be a simple way that the user can cofigure what
language they want to use for their desktop and how numbers should be
presented, default currency etc. In fact a user may speak multiple
languages so they should be allowed to give a preferred list of
languages. If an app can't present itself in the first language then it
tries the next one.

KDE has this but I cannot find the equivalent in GNOME. I know it is
possible to set the language at the GDM login screen but that is not
adequate. I have users that login remotely and thus don't go through
GDM. Also the other settings like currency and how to display numbers
cannot go on the GDM screen anyway! Every other OS has these features so
I think this is quite a significant problem for Ubuntu and GNOME.
