Gunnar, thank you very much for your response.

First of all, I can see that chinese is installed in Lubuntu as well as in Linux Mint Katya (See screendumps). Notice that my
preferred language = ducth (nederlands) and this language is active, but is greyed out?

When I start the language-selector after reboot, I get a crash (bug 859961).

ll /usr/share/locale-langpack reveals that nor "deutsch" nor "chinese" is installed.

After regenerating the locales, both "deutsch" and "chineses" are still in the selector (dutch is still greyed out, although it is
my preferred language. I can't select it neither ... dialog doesn't respond to the selection (due to the 859961 bug?)

Actually I switched the preferred language, logged off and logged back in. Language wasn't changed. Only after reboot did the changes take place (can't test this now, because the language-selector-dialog doesn't react on a selection).
When I changed the language, I pressed "apply systemwide"-button. (Maybe this option requires a reboot?)
