screenshots don't have the correct language code

[Luke Jennings]

I think this is python-pybabel related but some how the dutch screenshots are not being taken in dutch. I asked in #ubuntu-nl to double check but this is not dutch http://screenshots.ubuntu-manual.org/data/02-assistive-technologies@[e-mail] .
This is http://screenshots.ubuntu-manual.org/data/05-firefox-ppa@[e-mail] . A lot of the dutch screenshots are in arabic of some form.

When running quickshot the language is detected ok except netherlands (aruba) which causes quickshot to crash. I have added a commet to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/quickshot/+bug/554861 .

I just tried the following as a test...

import locale
print locale.getdefaultlocale()

...and this happened.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 478, in getdefaultlocale
    return _parse_localename(localename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 410, in _parse_localename
    raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: nl_AW

Environment: LiveCD, installed to disk, running with Quickshot user. Nothing else was changed.

We may need to check with Python's Issue Tracker to see if this is a known problem and possibly submit a patch, if it isn't somehow specific to the Lucid Python build.

Possibly this has something to do with it look at the last post in http://bugs.python.org/issue

sorry wrong link http://bugs.python.org/issue8374

For the 10.10 beta run, until we have a chance to rip what we need from babel and explore our options, we're just going to trust the LANG environment variable (with a little massaging) to report the right thing. That should bypass the root of this issue.
