As a workaround, you need to install "language-package-gnome-XX" for the language you want (or use the language-selector-gtk tool to do it for you). Then the language should be available in Unity8 system-settings.
The only "pre-installed" language pack for the ISO is I think English, and whatever language you select in the installer. To make a decision about getting rid of langpacks (which really, is going to basically be necessary for snaps anyway), we need an analysis of size difference in packages and how much extra disk space would be used by having all the translations for all default apps, always installed. And to convince Ubuntu Release Team and maybe Tech Board to get it done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674931 Title: Unity8 only available in English on Desktop Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in langpack-o-matic: New Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Test case. - Launch Unity8 session on Zesty. - Open System Settings > Language & Text. - Go to Display Language.
