Comment 0 for bug 1507705

This bug seems to be a duplicate, or linked, to the closed issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/pantheon-greeter/+bug/1363715.

It seems that Greeter is not picking up the translations as set by the LANG variable(?) correctly, or it is the locale plug that does not set the variable correctly..?

Anyway, some examples. after applying "Set system language" in the locale plug for German, Norwegian and Spanish a "cat /etc/default/locale" gives this:
* LANG=de_DE.utf8
* LANG=nb.utf8 : locale -a does not list an option in this format
* LANG=es.utf8 : --same

Where Greeter only picks up translations when LANG is in this format:
* LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
* LANG=nb_NO.utf8
* LANG=es_ES.utf8
