Title:
  Lubuntu LXQt - Locale fallback fails

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have always been a locale-fallback feature user. With Lubuntu 18.04
  LTS I haven't any problem.

  The computer users are fluent in those languages, except in English
  (the default one). If there's a string untranslated in one language,
  it jumps and try to show the string of the next listed language and so
  on.

  In most of the programs the fallback works, but the LXQt menu, some
  details like some dialogs, don't work well, even editing
  /etc/default/locale file:

      LANG="pt_BR.UTF-8"
      LANGUAGE="pt_BR:pt_PT:gl_ES:es_ES:en"
      LC_NUMERIC="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_TIME="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_MONETARY="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_PAPER="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_NAME="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_ADDRESS="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_TELEPHONE="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_MEASUREMENT="pt_PT.UTF-8"
      LC_IDENTIFICATION="pt_PT.UTF-8"

  It doesn't work even installing and configuring locales with language-
  selector-gnome, which is not installed by default on Lubuntu 20.04.

  If I try to change the main language, I see that most of translations
  exist, either in one language or another. So the problem is with the
  fallback, determined by the LANGUAGE = section in /etc/default/locale.

  *Using Spanish as first language:*

  *Using Galician as first language:*

  We are not the only ones with this problem, polyglot people or
  inhabitants of regions with languages with two different spelling
  regulations can be combined in this way.

  Thank you for your attention.
