[Bug 1160441] Re: Calendar is still in English despite French is selected as the Language during the installation

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Well, I'd call it a perceived regression. ;-) What happened is that the
installer started to assume/guess that since you selected London as the
time zone location, you want that things like numbers, currency, date,
and time are displayed using the format conventions in Great Britain.[1]
Unfortunately some applications, including indicator-datetime, display
the names of weekdays and months in the corresponding language, even if
the language you explicitly selected is something else.

But the indicator-datetime version in my PPA should fix that. Are you
really sure that you installed that package successfully? A simple way
to find out is to run this command in a terminal window:

  dpkg -l | grep indicator-datetime

The version should be "12.10.3daily13.03.26-0ubuntu1+daysMonths".

[1] Please note that you can change the language and regional formats
settings via "System Settings -> Language Support".

Bug description:
  When London is selected as the location and language is selected as
  French, the calendar entries are shown in English. The calendar shows
  correct London date and time but presents them in English. One would
  expect that the calendar entries would be shown in French as it used
  to be the case.

  This occurs in installations with and without network, with and
  without live session and on both amd64 and i386 of 20130326 images.
  When Paris is selected as the location, the calendar entries are shown
  in French.

  Incomplete language support dialog pops up (for networkless
  installations) after the reboot but updating the language does not
  solve the issue.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Boot the usb with todays image (20130326)
  2. Select French language for installation
  3. Continue with default settings except the location setting, which should be set to London
  4. Finish the installation and reboot.
  5. Check the calendar entries
