Title:
  Setting language localization doesn't set system-wide

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am running Precise 64 bit... when I install and set localization to
  US English it doesn't set language system wide.. by that I mean
  Thunderbird uses Australian English dictionary, Firefox initially uses
  British English and other applications, Drivel for example will
  continue to use other English language dictionary (not sure which one
  but it likes favourite not favorite). I know that I can go from
  application to application changing them all but it really is wasteful
  to have to do so... I don't understand why at install time your
  language selection cannot do this. Also, in regards to Drivel, it will
  continue to use other English unless I delete all other language packs
  from /usr/share/hunspell/ and these other languages seem to come back
  every time Firefox upgrades. This is very frustrating. I refuse to
  believe that it is not possible to have the install process language
  settings respected system wide.
