My fresh Ubuntu Linux installation in a Oracle VirtualBox virtual machine displays a surprising three languages... English, I can understand, Hungarian I chose but the day of the week in Afrikaans, next to the time, is really baffling. The Debian host system has Afrikaans as preferred language but I really do no think that it should propagate to guest operating systems. During installation, I did choose Johannesburg as my location (mainly for the time zone) but I have no recollection of being able to select a language, specifically for the time. The LC_ system variables in Linux are not one of my strong points but I more or less understand what they are about. On balance, I think this might be an error in the Ubuntu installation script, which still leaves me wondering why Afrikaans and not one of the 10 other official languages in Johannesburg.
Why Ubuntu on Debian? I would like to run some software which is not easy to install on Debian, specifically the UltraNote wallet.

Ek raai dit is wel moontlik dat dinge tussen die gasheer en gas lek. Sien hierdie in VirtualBox se dokumentasie:
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-guestprops
Daar is 'n veranderlike LanguageID. Dalk loer die Ubuntu installeerder hierna in 'n poging om oulik te wees as dit reeds tydens installasie sien dat dit in VirtualBox geïnstalleer word. Alles spekulasie...
Terloops, kyk gerus na wat "echo $LANGUAGE" sê. Dit is 'n lys wat met dubbelpunte geskei word. Ek raai dit het iets soos af:hu in, en dat die meeste Afrikaanse vertalings bloot nie daar is nie, en dus in die tweede taal vertoon. Weereens blote spekulasie...
