[Bug 1160441] Re: Calendar is still in English despite French is selected as the Language during the installation

[Colin Watson]

No change to glib can possibly solve the fact that the two kinds of
locale data - (1) language-independent details such as 12/24-hour clock,
which day starts the week, and so on, and (2) language-dependent
translations of weekdays and months - are fundamentally conflated into a
single category in POSIX and in glibc's locale database.  Changing
either glib or indicator-datetime is addressing the problem at the wrong
layer, which you can tell by the fact that it doesn't affect anything
using other time-related functions.

Changing indicator-datetime wouldn't be dreadful, perhaps.  But it
really doesn't have any bearing on what ubiquity does here, because
ubiquity should be configuring the system as correctly as possible,
supporting more than just the Unity indicators stack.

Bug description:
  When London is selected as the location and language is selected as
  French, the calendar entries are shown in English. The calendar shows
  correct London date and time but presents them in English. One would
  expect that the calendar entries would be shown in French as it used
  to be the case.

  This occurs in installations with and without network, with and
  without live session and on both amd64 and i386 of 20130326 images.
  When Paris is selected as the location, the calendar entries are shown
  in French.

  Incomplete language support dialog pops up (for networkless
  installations) after the reboot but updating the language does not
  solve the issue.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Boot the usb with todays image (20130326)
  2. Select French language for installation
  3. Continue with default settings except the location setting, which should be set to London
  4. Finish the installation and reboot.
  5. Check the calendar entries
