Not sure this is a second bug. but

I am in Montreal, Quebec,  
The language setting for Region & Language is English(Canada)  Format English(Canada)

The keyboard layout is Canada French

When clicking for a link,
for example,

https://getfedora.org/workstation/prerelease/

The French Version of the web page is being presented.


The bug could also be firefox. 
Will test with a second browser.
Checked FF settings,  No French option anywhere.

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2020-04-07 06:08:46 UTC
Please report this to upstream gnome gitlab.

Comment 4 Fedora Program Management 2021-04-29 15:55:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '32'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Moving this to bug Fedora 34 as still able to reproduce it.

Comment 7 Leslie Satenstein 2021-06-14 18:59:00 UTC
I am in Québec Canada, and since I use English, some Spanish and much French, my keyboard layout is Canada French.


With Gnome, there is no issue, I just go to keyboard and set up the layout, and to region and language, and setup the language and keyboard layout.

With many of the Remixes, eg, Deepin, Mate, etc, (my favoured language interface is the default English language, but the Keyboard layout I chose, the Canada French keyboard layout is not listed or the default. The default is American English.


To set it up with the  Deepin and other Remixes, I had to set the region/language to French, and then I could search and find the French keyboard layout. which now appeared in the list. I chose my Canadian French layout, and exited.
I rebooted and on my first logon, everything was in French, (mostly). I used the gnome settings to reset the region/language to Canadian English (favor -->favour, neighbor -->neighbour) and rebooted.
Deepin now works in Canadian English with my Canadian French keyboard layout.  Mate and the others need the same tender loving care.


A good fix would be to have each remix show the entire list of keyboard layouts, irrespective of the chosen "user interface language".

Thanks for the details - though those should really be addressed in those projects.
