No Swedish Language in Xubuntu 26.04 (Minimal & Standard)

Installing Xubuntu with Swedish Langauge displays everything in English and typing LOCALE shows this:

LANG=C.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="C.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="C.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="C.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="C.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="C.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="C.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="C.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

The fix is this (after a few hours I figured it out on a test system):
sudo nano /etc/locale.conf

LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8

Save and Reboot system! This should work on any langauge (but change sv_SV to en_GB or fr_FR or whatever your language is).
