[Bug 963460] Re: Ubiquity calls check-language-support with "zh-hans" instead of a locale (zh_CN)

[Colin Watson]

It'd be an improvement to use the locale name anyway, though, as part of
ubiquity's code to mangle locale names into language pack names includes
generally stripping the country part.  Compare:

  $ check-language-support -l en_GB --show-installed
  firefox-locale-en gimp-help-en language-pack-en language-pack-gnome-en libreoffice-help-en-gb libreoffice-l10n-en-gb myspell-en-au myspell-en-gb myspell-en-za openoffice.org-hyphenation poppler-data wamerican wbritish
  $ check-language-support -l en --show-installed
  firefox-locale-en gimp-help-en hunspell-en-ca hunspell-en-ca hunspell-en-us hunspell-en-us hyphen-en-us language-pack-en language-pack-gnome-en libreoffice-help-en-gb libreoffice-help-en-us libreoffice-l10n-en-gb libreoffice-l10n-en-za myspell-en-au myspell-en-gb myspell-en-za mythes-en-au mythes-en-us openoffice.org-hyphenation poppler-data wamerican wbritish

I have the fix here now, I think; I'll commit it after some testing.

  Ubiquity calls check-language-support with "zh-hans" instead of a
  locale (zh_CN)

Bug description:
  In Precise, using check-language-support -l zh_CN returns:
  cmap-adobe-gb1 firefox-locale-zh-hans fonts-arphic-uming ibus-sunpinyin ibus-table-wubi language-pack-gnome-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans libreoffice-help-zh-cn libreoffice-l10n-zh-cn poppler-data thunderbird-locale-zh-cn thunderbird-locale-zh-hans ttf-arphic-ukai ttf-wqy-zenhei

  whereas check-language-support -l zh-hans returns:
  cmap-adobe-gb1 firefox-locale-zh-hans fonts-arphic-uming ibus-sunpinyin ibus-table-wubi language-pack-gnome-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans poppler-data thunderbird-locale-zh-hans ttf-arphic-ukai ttf-wqy-zenhei

  You will notice that zh-hans does not have any of the *-zh-cn packages
  listed.  This is an issue because in situations where you want to
  install zh_CN language/locale support using Ubiquity, Ubiquity will
  automatically convert zh_CN to zh-hans and then only install those
  packages.

  The same is true for zh_TW and zh-hant where the *-zh-tw will not be
  installed if the user chooses zh_TW.
