Bug Description
Binary package hint: language-selector
I use Ubuntu 10.04 which uses language-selector 0.5.8. I have set English as the language for menus and windows and Swedish for numbers, dates and currency amounts. This makes the locale environment variables look like this
$ locale
LANG=sv_SE.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE=
LC_NUMERIC=
LC_TIME=
LC_COLLATE=
LC_MONETARY=
LC_MESSAGES=
LC_PAPER=
LC_NAME=
LC_ADDRESS=
LC_TELEPHONE=
LC_MEASUREMENT=
LC_IDENTIFICATI
LC_ALL=
Still, several applications like Firefox and Thunderbird use Swedish for menus and windows. The question is whether this is a bug is in the language selector or a bug in the mentioned applications. Shouldn't the language selector set LC_MESSAGES to English as well?
Does anyone agree or disagree?
