The following line seems to be failing and thus prevents any language task to match for Malayalam: fulllang=$(expr "$LANG" : '\(.*\)\.') Probably the expr is failing as the test is being called with LANG=ml_IN, which means that there is no ".UTF8" suffix which causes the 'expr' to fail and the script to exit because of the 'set -e'. IIRC there are several other locales that are UTF-8 by default and thus do not have any encoding postfix. Not sure what the correct solution is as $fulllang should probably be set to "ml_IN". Maybe we should use the following lines instead: baselang=${LANG%%_*} fulllang=${LANG%%.*} (which is the same as is used in localechooser). I've done a test with that and it seems to work.
