Comment 4 for bug 1593339

Just noticed this in a live usb running in VirtualBox. This looks really bad!

English is definitely the selected language (I restarted to check if I’d done anything wrong), but some parts of System Settings appear in Bulgarian I think. In Language & Region for instance I see this:

---
Language support is not installed completely

Language: English
Region: United States
Formats: Сьединени щати (Анлийски) — i.e. United States (English) in Bulgarian
---

After some more testing, it seems this is slightly different on each boot. E.g. the last time, even though English was chosen the L&R settings showed a blank for Language. The language change in other settings seems to be caused by entering the Language & Region settings. The one bug that is consistent is that the Formats drop-down is always in Bulgarian and in this last boot Language and Region were both blank, but Formats reads България (Bulgaria).

At worst, several other settings panels are populated with Bulgarian localisations, though not necessarily all or the same ones each time.

VirtualBox is running in Ubuntu 16.04.

I don’t actually use Elementary myself, but was thinking about doing a little advocacy (since it’s seems like a worthy distro) and passing it on to a friend’s work colleague as a Windows antidote. Having seen this though, I’m not sure I should.
