Bug 472239

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5

Background: I installed openSUSE 11.1 with English (US) as primary and Japanese as additional language. The SystemSettings > Region/Country & Language was set to 'Country or Region: Not set (Generic English)' and no language appeared in the language list.

1. I used Yast2 > System > Language to add additional languages: German, French, and English (UK). Went into SystemSettings > Region/Country & Language to set 'Country or Region' to 'Japan' (to get Japanese formats etc) and added languages below in the order: English (UK) > Japanese > German > French.

BUG: The language associated with the locale was not added automatically  on top of the language list. 
BUG: English (US) was not available as an option to be added to the list.

2. My language environment switched to Japanese despite having chose English (UK) for the top of language list. I switched 'Country/Region' back to 'Not set (Generic English), and deleted all languages except English (UK) from the language list (this last one I wasn't able to remove).

BUG: Upon reboot, my language settings were still Japanese.

I changed the language list by adding only German, and only French. Both times, the language environment switched to the respective language. When setting the language list to only English (UK), however, the previously set language remained in use.

3. I went again into Yast2 > System > Language and unchecked all languages except Japanese (with English (US) remaining the primary language).

BUG: SystemSettings > Region/Country & Language, however, didn't reflect this change and still offered English (UK), Japanese, German as well as French as additional languages, yet no English (US).

In conclusion, I feel there are 4 bugs:

(1) The language set as primary language through Yast2 > System > Language is not available in SystemSettings > Country/Region & Language as a language to be added.

(2) The language associated with the locale (in SystemSettings > Country/Region & Language) is not added on top of the language list.

(3) Setting the locale to English (UK) does not activate the language systemwide; rather, the previously set language remains.

(4) The list of languages available to be added in SystemSettings > Country/Region & Language is not updated / harmonized with the languages activated/deactivated in Yast2 > System > Language.
