Greetings: I want to set locales in Ubuntu. It currently has en_US.UTF-8 and I want to change it to es_ES.ISO-8859-1. I added the locale by entering the command sudo locale-gen "es_ES.ISO-8859-1"

When i execute the following command, it says, among other things, ISO-8859-1 up to date, but it does not show me a menu for selecting a default locale:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

But when I execute the command sudo update-locale LANG=es_ES.ISO-8859-1 and afterwards I execute locale, it still shows LANG=es.ES_UTF-8. The same is true for all variables that starts with LC_ and the variable LANGUAGE. The commands don't show me any success or error message when executed.

I even edited manually the file /etc/default/locale to no avail.

When i examine the file /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, the locale es_ES.ISO-8859-1 is displayed.

What did i do wrong?

If it helps, I am not running the terminal as a root, but I can execute commands with sudo. Plus, the output of uname -a is:

Linux SOL-05-LON-VPS01 3.13.0-48-generic #80~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 12 19:30:15 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
