no fallback language selection possible

I think this is a feature, a hard one.

Hi,

What do you mean by feature ? Is it intentional ?? In that case, in my
humble opinion, it needs fixing, because it seems more to me like a
required feature (that KDE has, by the way..)

Status in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
(on Xubuntu 8.04 beta, 32bit, desktop)

I am not sure wether this is a bug or a missing feature.
When selecting installed language packs, or chosing a language inside the session manager, it appears to be impossible to pick several choices and sort them in order of preference (as found in KDE for instance).

Example : an Greek person who also understands some French but no English will have most of his system in Greek, and the remaining in a language that he does not understand.

Confirmed unable to set language priority in language-selector under Xubuntu 8.04.

This bug was fixed in the package language-selector - 0.5.0

---------------
language-selector (0.5.0) lucid; urgency=low

  * new UI to allow separate language and locale settings (LP: #40669)
    (LP: #210776) (LP: #226155)
  * fixed locale generation code (LP: #236028)
