The Ubuntu Installer sets the wrong language locale when some timezones are set/automatically set for example when I set the language to English and set the timezone to Nairobi GMT+3, the locale that is set is not an English locale but a non-English one which is Oromo-KE instead of English US or English UK based on keyboard layout chosen in installation. Correction of the error after installation is possible on gnome graphically but requires the terminal to properly correct it in KDE and XFCE.
I request a change to the installer to solve this issue which is to allow users to set a type of the main Language selected for example when English is selected at the start of installation, the next step before setting the keyboard layout should be the English type, for example, English-UK, English-US and others so that the correct language locale is set. An example of the change is the System76 Pop OS installation.
