Description of problem: I installed Fedora 10 using the gnome livecd. While installation I selected the time zone as "Asia/Calcutta", and keyboard layout as US English. The installed system shows the output of locale as en_US.UTF8. Thinking that it must be some quirk, I used system-config-language and set the system language to "English (India)". However, even after rebooting, the output of locale remains en_US.UTF8. s-c-l shows the language set to "English (India)" even after reboot, but "locale" does not concur. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-language-1.3.2-3.fc10.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open s-c-l 2. Set language to "English (India)" Actual results: After reboot, all fields of locale still show en_US Expected results: They should show en_IN Additional info: Here is the output of locale: [rohan@fedora sysconfig]$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= and some more useful output: [rohan@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG="en_IN.UTF-8" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" [rohan@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/environment [rohan@fedora ~]$
Hi Rohan, [rohan@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG="en_IN.UTF-8" It means s-c-l has doing its job can you try same once again, while login check the gdm selection i think it is still showing English(United States) and overriding s-c-l setting, change it to required and then try.
Thanks a lot, Pravin. The problem was indeed with GDM overriding my language preference. This resolves the bug :) Will you please help me in marking this bug as resolved?
