Bug Description
I've been testdriving Kubuntu Intrepid alpha-2, and have found that the finished installation (from scratch) always is localised to English, even though I answer all questions regarding locality during installation with Norway.
At first I thought this was due to the lack of network connectivity during installation (see bug #135752), but now I tried an install with wired network connected and correctly set up, and it still didn't install any Norwegian language packs, /etc/default/locale said nothing about Norwegian locales, and so on. I had to set up the locale file myself, install all the language packs, configure KDE to use the Norwegian languages, and so on. (It would be impossible to do this if I didn't know English to begin with.)
There's also still something setting $LANGUAGE to "en_US" even though it is set to something else in /etc/default/

OK. It may be that localisation just plain wasn't working, or it may be that something's going wrong with package acquisition.
This bug is filed against ubiquity, but we didn't release a desktop CD with Alpha 2. Were you in fact using the alternate install CD?
Could you please attach /var/log/ installer/ syslog from the installed system to this report? With any luck, it should have enough information for us to diagnose this.
