Comment 3 for bug 1174944

Don't know about bug 1072019 but sounds similar. There has been a locale change in 13.04. From my locales (untouched):

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_NAME=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=fi_FI.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

Now the locale in 13.04 looks correct to me. Before it was incorrect (in 12.10). I don't know how many packages there are having this problem but it's probable now that full translation (if language is available) is done in several applications.

Just checked the Regional options: "Display numbers, dates and currency amounts in the usual format for:". It is clearly a bug if country specific setting here simply overwrites the language setting.
