Package: localechooser
Version: 2.21
Severity: wishlist
There is one use case currently not covered by localechooser that arguably
should be covered, though IMO only at medium priority.
This use case is as follows.
A user is from England, but working in Australia. So he selects English as
language and Australia as country. Currently he will automatically get
en_AU.UTF-8 as locale.
Question is: should he have the option to select en_GB.UTF-8 as preferred
locale? After all, a Brit working in Germany gets that option, so why not
a Brit working in Australia.
As I'm not sure whether this complication is really needed, I'm only
attaching the simple (but untested) patch needed to implement it instead
of committing it.
With this patch the preferred locale question will be asked
- at high priority for the English/Germany case (default: en_US.UTF-8)
- at medium priority for the English/Australia case (default: en_AU.UTF-8)
Showing the dialog at medium prio in the second case seems to me consistent
with the rest of localechooser: we should not bother Australians living in
Australia with this question during default installations.

Description:
localechooser - choose language/country/locale (udeb)
Closes: 563861
Changes:
localechooser (2.23) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Also allow selection of a "preferred locale", but only at medium priority,
when the user selects a combination of language and country for which a
locale is defined if multiple UTF-8 locales exist for the language.
Closes: #563861.
* Change priority of questions re. selection of additional locales to low.
The selection of "raw" locales requires significant understanding of their
meaning and has become less relevant than it used to be.
