[Bug 681709] Re: mixed locale in authentication dialog

[fredtdtje]

Sorry for the delay, I have been offline to live the real life to the
max for a few days ;-)

$ locale

LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

So, expected output is: everything in English (as per the LANGUAGE
variable), but with metric units and Dutch notation for numbers,
currencies etc.

Title:
  mixed locale in authentication dialog

Status in PolicyKit GNOME component:
  New
Status in “policykit-1-gnome” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Update Manager's authentication dialog comes up with a mixture of English and Swedish, see the attached screenshot.
  I'm not seeing this language mixture in other authentication dialogs, such as when starting Synaptic.

  I have adjusted my locale to have an English-language desktop with a
  Swedish locale:

  LANG=sv_SE.utf8
  LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8
  LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_COLLATE=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
  LC_PAPER=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_NAME=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_ADDRESS=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_TELEPHONE=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_IDENTIFICATION=sv_SE.utf8
  LC_ALL=

  (About the different settings of LANG and LANGUAGE: that's a mystery
  to me, since my .profile sets them both to en_US.utf8.)
