description |
I'm in Brussels, setting up a fresh new Xubuntu 22.04 LTS system that otherwise so far respects my settings of en-GB (with a UK keyboard)
Panel clock for some reason provides a date in Dutch. (mandaag 09 mei 2022) and it is not obvious how to persuade it to do otherwise.
I never expressed during configuration a preference for Dutch, so this would appear to be a bug.
Also note that my IP address corresponds, per whois, to an ISP in Charleroi, Wallonia, which is French-speaking. (Brussels-capital-region, which I set as my city for timezone purposes, is _de jure_ bilingual but _de facto_ about 90% Francophone, followed by Engish, followed by Dutch). If you can't cope with not having a nice neat one-language-per-country mapping, and can't cope with people who are not using the local language, then just respect the user settings rather than trying to second-guess based on IP. |
