[GitHub issue by NekR on 2012-04-08T22:31:42Z, https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/1176]
Hello.
I builded mozilla-central on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64.
I run it with this command:

nekr@nekr-Dell:~/gaia$ /home/nekr/b2g-build/dist/bin/b2g -profile /home/nekr/gaia/profile -safe-mode -UILocale ru -jsconsole

and output going:

(b2g:11765): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

(b2g:11765): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

SmsDatabaseService: Could not get the last key from sms database. Probably empty database
SmsDatabaseService: Transaction [object IDBTransaction] completed.

The last line is repeated all time while application is runned.
And general problem is that the UILocale argument has no effect, it always running with default locale.

B2G was builded on "pure ubuntu", right after installed the system. Of course all dependencies was closed.

@fabricedesre @vingtetun Can you figure out what needs to be done with this?

UILocale is not supported. It affects the language of the Chrome UI and 
there is no Chrome UI in Gaia.

Passing -UILocale might not be the proper solution but we still need a way to select a locale on the desktop (think of our l10n contributors).

Sure. This will be possible by preffiling the settings database with the 
correct language (see build/settings.js) and doing some Makefile magic.

Is there anything that needs to be done here? Blocking- for now. Request blocking if this is something that needs to be fixed for release.

The locale can be changed in the Settings Application.

There's been lots of changes with pseudolocales recently for development use. I don't think there's much we need to do here, but please re-open or file a new bug if necessary.

For now I would recommend using a custom-settings file to specify your own custom locale.
