Bug Description

Mint 13 is installed with language french and country Canada.
The command 'locale' return LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and the file /etc/environment contains LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

It should be LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8

I use Netbeans and when I ask for the country, it returns 'France' instead of 'Canada'.

So when I have to format date or money, I have euro symbol or delimiters used in France.

In Mandriva, I don't have this bug.

If i can't resolve this issue rapidly, I will have to return to Mandriva.

Thank you.

Finally I resolve this issue putting LC_ALL=fr_CA.UTF-8 in locale.
