Want to choose lubuntu language during first boot of persistent Live USB made with UNetbootin

Asked by Hugo_Pt

Hi. I'm a new Linux user. I used UNetbootin unetbootin-windows-613.exe to create a Lubuntu live USB with persistence, from the ISO lubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso. Rather than using a casper-rw file, I previously partitioned the USB flash drive to create a casper-rw ext4 partition for persistence. But the flash drive I used was a TOSHIBA USB 2.0, which makes the OS run extremely slowly in every way. So, I want to create a new Lubuntu bootable flash drive, using this time a Sandisk USB 3.0 flash drive to try to speed things up a little bit, even though my USB ports are USB 2.0.
I like the fact that UNetbootin doesn't format the drive, it writes the iso to the first partition leaving untouched the remaining partitions and sets up persistence automatically, without the need to manually edit any boot file.
But I wanted my lubuntu system to be fully portuguese, not english. When I use the lubuntu Live CD to start a lubuntu Live session, during boot, I get a language selection screen –see http://i51.tinypic.com/30urd04.jpg –, this selection affects not only the language of the boot screen options, but also configures the entire system for that language. Is it possible to get the same language selection screen in first boot of a lubuntu live USB with persistence created with UNetbootin? The language selection would only be necessary in first boot, because, since any changes made to OS would persist in subsequent boots, I'd just have to select 'Default' in UNetbootin boot menu in those subsequent boots or wait until regressive countdown reaches 0.

I'm aware that I can add portuguese to list of languages after english Lubuntu has started by going to Language preferences, but still, there are certain OS components that remain in english (U.S.A.), one example of that being the Login screen: even if I select portuguese (Pt-pt) from language drop-down list, if I then logoff and login again, or if I reboot PC and login, the 'english (U.S.A.)' is always auto-selected repeatedly. I'd like to select my language right from the beginning, before lubuntu first run, during first boot, like as if I was booting from a Lubuntu live CD. Is this achievable?
