Bug Description

Can you please include an international locale in Ubuntu that respects the ISO formats and not any particular way of any particular country? I'm moving around all the time, using my interface in English, I don't care about Useans format for dates (MM/DD/YYYY). I think the international locale should support English and international languages, like Esperanto, Interlingua, etc.

Thanks.

I agree. ISO locale for English language would be very useful. Every time I install new Ubuntu system I have to go through the same steps adding new locale that supports ISO date and time format.

It is very easy to add new locale. I attach the one that I am using.
I also wrote some instructions how to do all modifications on your own http://stonis.info/Linux/
(the location is not the best, but I do not have a time to publish it somewhere else).
