Bug Description

1. Get a 7.04 Ubuntu desktop CD.
2. Boot into English (i.e. change nothing and press enter to boot)
3. Run the desktop installer, choose Chinese (Traditional) as the language
4. Choose 'Hong Kong' as the location
5. The installer change to simplified Chinese. It should be traditional Chinese
6. Complete the installation, reboot. The login screen and all texts after login use simplified Chinese, which should be Chinese (Hong Kong). Chinese (Hong Kong) is a valid locale within Ubuntu.
7. Run a program with no native translation in Ubuntu, such as Firefox, the texts use simplified Chinese, which should fallback to traditional Chinese.

This bug should have been reported before, but I can't find it. Thank you.

Triaged to Incomplete. As this is an old bug submission, I recommend trying Gutsy to see if it has been fixed. Many language locale and translations have been fixed in Gutsy. If problem still exists in Gutsy, then move to Confirmed.

The problem is still present in Gutsy and Hardy beta.

This is not fixed in Hardy and is angering a lot of potential Ubuntu users in Hong Kong.

It is a pity that this problem is still present in jaunty (8.10)...

Hi developers, any hope fixing this trivial problem in the forth coming 9.04?

This bug has already reported more than 13 months. Furthermore, this bug is annoying and hampers the introduction of Ubuntu to Hong Kong user. If someone could fix the bug asap, the someone would definitely be appreciated by many Hong Kong Ubuntu users.

Thanks very much.

In 10.10 alpha 2, the installer can auto-detect the location and the interface remains Traditional Chinese throughout the installation, so point 5 should have been fixed.

This problem is almost fixed in 10.04.3 (perhaps in other releases too) except in firefox, it is because the firefox zh-cn language pack is included, which is not necessary at all.
