Bug ID: 28278
Summary: Broken LC_CTYPE in nds_DE locale
Product: glibc
Version: 2.33
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu MATE 21.04 with the Low German (nds_DE) system locale. With
the default settings for this locale I'm unable to type non-ASCII characters
such as äöüß in many applications.
The cause appears to be that /usr/share/i18n/locales/nds_DE defines LC_CTYPE to
en_DK which looks very weird. Manually exporting LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 fixes the
bug for me.
I don't see why this is not the default setting. Most other LC_* variables use
the de_DE definition by default in nds_DE. Is this a bug, or is there a reason
why it's done this way?
Best regards and thanks in advance :)

P.S. I hope this is the right place for this topic; if not, please feel free to
point out where this belongs. The ubuntu package search told me my locales are
provided by the package `locales` which is provided by package `glibc` version
`2.33-0ubuntu5`. Original question was at
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+question/698525.
P.P.S. I'm also surprised that the locale definition uses the localized
language name "Neddersass'sch" although "Plattdüütsch" and "Plattdütsch" are
far more common forms. Nice to speak a language that can't decide on it's own
name. But that just as a side note :) Should I open a separate bug report for
this?
