Title:
  Desktop image sets LC_TIME based on country, not selected language

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  From a duplicate:

  TEST CASE:
  1. Boot from a desktop ISO
  2. In ubiquity-dm, select 'Deutsch' then 'Ubuntu Installieren'
  3. Proceed with the rest of installation, keeping the defaults (In my case ubiquity preselects 'Paris' for the timezone and a French keyboard layout)
  4. Reboot after installation and login

  ACTUAL RESULT:
  Most of the desktop is in German but the time indicator is in French

  EXPECTED RESULT
  Time indicator should be localized

  Original report
  ---------------
  The Desktop image allows a language to be chosen for the installation.  But when the locale settings for the system are actually set, they are ignored.  Perhaps they are taken from the geographic location, but that would be a very wrong guess in countries where there is more than one official language.

  Below is the output of "ls" on a system that should have been
  installed in English:

  $ ls -lh
