I clean-installed Ubuntu 13.10 in English on my computer and set my location as "Geneva" (a Swiss city) with my keyboard as "Swiss-French". However, certain programs default to German instead of English : TexWorks, TexMaker but also the data+time app in my sidebar defaulted to German.
I haven't had this issue with any of the the previous versions of Ubuntu, including 12.04 and 12.10.
This is a common conception mistake where modern programs expect people and countries to have one language only (hence German for Switzerland, even though the country is multilingual) : they use the country instead of the user settings as reference.
I've seen the issue with :
- texworks : 0.5~svn1288-1 (installed via apt-get)
- texmaker: 4.0.3-2 (installed via apt-get)
- indicator-datetime: 13.10.0+13.10.20131023.2-0ubuntu1 (installed with Ubuntu 13.10)
