Title:
  Unable to set Serbian as Language

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Bionic:
  In Progress
Status in gnome-control-center source package in Disco:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The Serbian language items, both the Cyrillic and the Latin, are not
  shown as selectable items in the Language widget in Region & Language.
  Furthermore, once that has been fixed, selecting the Serbian-Latin
  option results in the Serbian-Cyrillic language to be set.

  The proposed upload (via merge proposal) fixes both the issues.

  [Test Case]

  * Install gnome-control-center from bionic-proposed.

  * Install the Serbian language via gnome-language-selector.

  * Open Settings -> Region & Language and open the Language widget.

  * You should see both "Serbian (Serbia)" and "Serbian (Serbia) - latin"
    in the list. Confirm that you can successfully switch to both the
    options.

  [Regression Potential]

  An explanation how the proposed fixes address the issues would be a
  bit technical, but basically we simply drop Ubuntu specific changes
  which have proved to have adverse side effects. The regression risk
  ought to be low.

  [Original description]

  Affected: 18.04.2 (did not try earlier versions of 18.04 series)
  Not affected: 16.04 - any version (UI was different)

  Preparation steps:
  1. open gnome control center
  2. open Region & Language
  3. open Manage installed languages
  4. open Install/Remove languages
  5. select Serbian, click Apply
  6. provide credentials for sudo installation
  7. wait for installation to complete
  8. click Close

  What is wrong:
  1. open gnome control center
  2. open Region & Language
  3. click Language selection
  4. Serbian is not visible

  Notes:
  - Serbian is visible for the Formats selection
  - Any other language I thought of: (Macedonian, Croatian, Bosnian, Russion...) simple work.
