This bug is reported from a system installed from Lubuntu Xenial alternate i386, but the corresponding desktop version is also affected. It is a rather new bug, that seems to have appeared at about the same time as the big problems with starting Ubiquity.

Selecting another language in the installer looks the same in the alternate installer. But it looks different in the desktop installer. The locale is not pre-selected, you click on the world map, and you are asked if the selected keyboard is correct. The following window with alternative keyboards is empty. But that would be OK, if the installer would do, what it promises.

After installation a lot of text is in the selected language, Swedish in my case, for example the pulldown menus in lxterminal. But when I type, the US English keyboard is still there. I have to run

setxkbmap se

to get Swedish keyboard.
