Description Arash Mousavi [:Arash-M] 2017-10-21 14:45:08 UTC 
**Background:**

Using Gnome on X, I'm able to set the gnome language from it's control panel setting, and then set the shell language differently like this:

```
export LANG en_US.utf8
export LC_ALL en_US.utf8
export LC_CTYPE en_US.utf8
```

i.e. If I choose Persian in gnome control panel, the interface will be Persian, but I can still use English programs on command line.

**What happens:**

Using Wayland on gnome, the interface will convert to English while gnome settings still shows Persian, unless I unset all LANG environment variables.

**How it should be:**

I'm expecting to be able to use different language in Wayland and my shell, as in X.

P.S. I'm not sure what component I have to choose or if this is the right place to report this bug.

Hi,

I don't understand how this could a Wayland protocol issue, so I would suggest to file the bug with GNOME first and let them triage it. If there is something missing from the Wayland protocol, then we would have a bug report here.

Thanks.

It's about how gdm handles logins in wayland:
