[Bug 1276072] Re: Language selection always falls back to English

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

~/.pam_environment write protected?? That breaks everything. You should:

1. Ensure that you have read/write access to ~/.pam_environment, so the system can do its job with respect to the language settings.
2. Remove all those language/locale entries in /etc/environment - only the PATH line should be kept.

Can you please do so, and let us know if that fixes it.

The partial translation is probably explained by a typo in
~/.pam_environment: There is no "fr-FR" language code, should be
"fr_FR". ( Language Support/accountsservice would never have made such a
typo. ;-) )

Title:
  Language selection always falls back to English

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded two amd64 computers from 13.04 to 13.10, and discovered on both that the language is set to English (whereas I selected French language at the beginning of the upgrade).
  Moreover, each time I set it back to French, dragging both French (France and Canada) and some English (UK & US) on top of the default English in the language selection list, default English comes back on top at next login.

  I even tried to modify my .pam_environment (in console mode) and the
  /etc/environment to set fr_FR as the default, no way: gnome-language-
  selector seems to force default English as default at each connection!

  Hopefully, I do understand English, but this is turning me mad.
