If we don't have enoguh time to make the spoke pick your language packages, we can just enable it entirely for F18. It'll be annoying to see all that work get disabled, but at least we won't let people walk into this problem. just for the record, the use case for actually allowing this is if, say, an English-speaking expert is helping a German-speaking newbie to setup their system (or vice versa). The expert will want the install process to be in their own language so they can use it, but the installed system to be in the user's native language so the user can use it when the expert is gone. Created attachment 643545 [details] screenshot showing Assamese, German, and English in Installation Summary Reproducer: Select Assamese in Welcome dialog. Select German in Language spoke. Click each spoke link and then click Done. The tooltips match the German and English subtitles. NB: Some of the English strings have not been translated yet.[1] Reproduced with: anaconda-18.28-1 Fedora-18-Beta-TC8-x86_64-DVD.iso Command-line: $ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-2.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Beta/TC8/Fedora-18-Beta-TC8-x86_64-DVD.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse [1] https://fedora.transifex.com/projects/p/anaconda/ (In reply to comment #2) > just for the record, the use case for actually allowing this is if, say, an > English-speaking expert is helping a German-speaking newbie to setup their > system (or vice versa).

Consultant installing for client. 2. Sysadmin installing for staff. The problem is that the Welcome dialog and the Language spoke ask the same question at the top: "What language would you like to use during the installation process?" So it is unclear what the Language spoke actually configures ... Bug 875829 - unclear what Language spoke actually configures *** Bug 875829 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Yes, I am aware of what needs to be done in this bug. (In reply to comment #7) > Yes, I am aware of what needs to be done in this bug. I'm glad somebody understands what the Language spoke is actually supposed to be doing ... :-) BTW, you could have just put in a back button to the Welcome dialog ... Use-case: The user clicks on the wrong language in the Welcome dialog and then clicks Continue before realizing it. How does the user recover without quitting the installer? Máirín: This bug seems to be getting into some UI design issues ... You are going to have to reboot. Changing language once everything has been imported and instantiated is technically very difficult, and we've got far more pressing things to do. I'm going to have to go with the disable route for now. anaconda-18.29-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-18.29-1.fc18 *** Bug 862624 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Package anaconda-18.29-1.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-18.29-1.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-18105/anaconda-18.29-1.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback). The language spoke is indeed gone from Beta RC1. 18.29.2-1 is going stable now, so closing. anaconda-18.29-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository.
