[Bug 1847618] [NEW] language selector ignores input methods other than xim and none in my current locale

[kenn]

Public bug reported:

I use Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. I can not reach other input methods such as
ibus, fcitx in my current locale which is LANGUAGE=tr_TR.UTF-8. It's not
listed in unity-control-center>Language Support>Keyboard Input Method
System. If I launch unity-control-center from terminal which is using
different locale "LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 unity-control-center" then there
is no problem, all of the installed input methods are in the list.

I also tested "python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/ImConfig.py"
it also ignores input methods other than xim and none.
If I export "LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8" it lists all the other input methods.
