Public bug reported:
Dear Developers,
Recently, I'm trying to install a new system with Hardy 8.04.1 amd64
desktop live cd. But I come across this locale problem(bug?).
Problem 1:
- Boot the CD, and choose "Install Ubuntu" from the boot menu
- In the first wizard screen (step 1 of 7), I choose language as
"Chinese(Traditional)"
- in the timezone selection screen (step 2 of 7), with the defaults set to
"Taiwan", I choose "Hong Kong" instead
- In step 4 of 7, the some chinese characters of the install wizard become
"Chinese(Simplified)", the correct fonts should be "Chinese(Traditional)"
- Step 6 of 7 is okay, showing "Chinese(Traditional)" characters
- In the summary screen (step 7 of 7), it is showing that I've chosen the
"Chinese(Simplified)", which is incorrect. And all the chinese characters is
using "Chinese(Simplified)".
After installation finished, it is actually running under "Chinese(Simplified)"
locale, which is not i want.
Problem 2:
ok, now I go back to the beginning of the wizard, just install the ubuntu with
"Chinese(Traditional)" in step1, and keep the "Taiwan" timezone in step2, the
summary screen (step 7) is correct, showing "Chinese(Traditional)" as my
choice. But after the installation, the system menu does not show in chinese
characters (English menu instead), and most gnome programs are still running
under english locale.
So I go to "System" -> "Management" -> "Language Support", and I found that
"Chinese" language support is not installed yet. After i checked the "Chinese"
language and press ok, the system auto install more language-packs, and after
reboot, it becomes a fully working system with correct chinese menus.
I'd be glad if these bugs would be fixed in the next release so that it
will not frustrate new users coming from this region (Hong Kong, which
is using "Chinese(Traditional)" locale --zh_TW.UTF-8). Thanks!
