Running Tails 3.01 with Language German has a serious bug

Running the current Tails 3.01 with the German Language has a serious bug.

Let us make a example :

I do start Tails with the following language and keyboard settings as shown in
Running-1.jpg.
As you can see in the graphics Running-2.jpg everything works fine as expected.
The language and the keyboard layout are 100 % correct.

No I do start Tails with (german-lv) and the other settings like in the first startup.
(Running-7.jpg).

As you can see inside Running-8.jpg the language of the GUI is not german.
It looks to me like Tails 3.01 took netherlands as default language. The keyboard layout is correct.

After a long time of investigation I found the solution to start Tails 3.01 with the correct settings.

Chose the correct Keyboard Layout : swiss-german
Chose the correct Format : Schweiz-Deutsch

In the language fild I do scroll until the netherlands do appear in the scroll-list …..
after that I can scroll right back to German an my Settings can be choosen.

This is shown in Running-3.jpg.
The Output with the correct Language and keyboard is shown in Running-4.jpg.

best regards
