(Get the code!)
This is the situation as I understand it:
- There are users, who need to use the same session (e.g. Unity) but frequently switch languages, due to applications working better in one locale than another.
- In general users will not need to do this, but this is particularly useful for Chinese language users (who switch between Chinese and English).
- This is currently possible in GDM, as it has a language option on login (that is set the the users default as set in language selector). This is not possible in GDM3, as they are dropping this functionality.
- LightDM does not have a language option, as the correct way to set the language is in the language selector in the users session (expected to be changed very infrequently).
Please comment if this is incorrect.
