/lang-fix/+merge/82505 I propose that the LANG environment variable is
redefined in Ubuntu to represent the display language instead of
regional formats. I mention this because if the proposal would be
approved, it would affect the solution to the issue in this bug report.

However, if you install Ubuntu via another way below, you will get a
properly displayed date and week days.

3. Choose "Install Ubuntu", and press Enter
4. You see the welcome page in English, select "中文 (繁體)" then click "繼續" (Continue)
Note: You only choose "中文 (繁體)" after you get into the installer
5. Finish the installation process
Expected Result:
You have a datetime with right display of locale format for date and week days.
Actual Result:
You get the right display.
