Additional info:
I was unable to choose US/Canada English. So I chose British English

There were several poor sentence structures.  I don't mind volunteering to correct the program presentation text, only I know not how to proceed as a volunteer.

If I can help, please email me with some "getting started" information.

This is more a problem with the original strings rather than any translation. Fedora is in string freeze now, so this can't be fixed for F17 (although the en_GB translation can be changed still).

To do this, you'll need to apply to join the Fedora en_GB team[1]. The translation you want is "Anaconda →  f17-branch".

This should be fixed in the new ui included with anaconda-18.3.
