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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Suddenly I realised what you did, Colin, and I must say that I disagree.
The very reason why the LC_TIME locale category exists is reasonably the
fact that date and time formats vary between countries/regions. The
calendar issue with days and months doesn't change that.

At least a change like this should not happen without discussion right
before a release IMNSHO. Since language-selector for several years sets
LC_TIME in accordance with the selected region, we indeed have an
inconsistency now.

I ask you to please revert this change in Raring. Then we can talk more
about what to do going forward.

  Calendar is still in English despite French is selected as the

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
