Further to the post from Elija, I think there is a problem with keyboard, language and regional selections in Ubuntu 14.04 derivatives in general, not just Linux Lite. For example, selecting location as London during install and then accepting the offered defaults of UK English and normal UK keyboard, the system gets installed with US English. To get UK English I do this:
- Right click on the keyboard icon (bottom right)
- Left click "Preferences"
- Select "Input method"
- Tick "Customize active input methods
- Use drop down and it's pop-up sub menu to select the language and variant
- Click "Add" then "Close"
- Left click the keyboard icon
- Left click the desired one (which then "sticks")
- Menu/Settings/Language Support
- Choose language variant (may insist on doing an update) and click to make it system wide
- Choose Regional Format and click to make it system wide.
- Close and reboot.
