[Bug 1892458] Re: Cannot change from one language format to another for example from English US to English UK in the language tab of language-selector-gnome

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your report.

Please note that you are supposed to drag the language you want to use
to the top of the list, not just click on it. Can you try that and let
us know if it works.

Title:
  Cannot change from one language format to another   for example from
  English US to English UK in the language tab of language-selector-
  gnome

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu automatically sets the English US language as the system
  language for the region that I reside in which mainly the English UK
  language as one of its official languages but not the English US
  language. When using the Language Support app to attempt to change the
  system language and regional formats to English UK, the English UK
  option is greyed out and cannot be selected in the Languages tab. To
  properly change the language in Ubuntu, I used the Gnome settings to
  change the language and the regional formats, restarted the shell, and
  used the Language Support app to apply the regional formats system-
  wide so that it can apply to the display manager as well. In Xubuntu
  or any other official Ubuntu flavour that uses the Ubiquity installer
  for installation and only uses the gnome language selector for
  language and region formats selection. Changing from one format of a
  language to another for example from English US to English UK is not
  possible graphically with the Language Support app alone because the
  desired language format, for example, English UK is greyed out and not
  selectable. The attached screenshot illustrates the issue but in this
  case, attempting to change from English UK to English US by using the
  language support app alone to attempt the language change.
