I did a fresh install and select my language (Galician) during it when I log into my new installation the system was in English. I went to System Settings --> Language and Galician was setting as the system language but that does not take effect. I tried to uninstall and reinstall again selecting English and Galician after, rebooting the system and the system language didn't change, it was in English.

Finally, I found a workaround here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133318/how-do-i-change-the-language-via-a-terminal (editing the ~/.pam_environment file) but now, I notice thatthere are some applications, few, that aren't in Galician yet, like Synaptic for example and other parts of the system too, but in this second case (not in Synaptic Package Manger) it could be that aren't untranslated yet.
