Description of problem: In workstation live or netinst, when the installer start, the default language is English. In previous versions of Fedora (at least F27) the local language was detected and proposed as default. I don't know how it is detected (maybe via some IP geolocation service?), in F28 the default proposed language is always English. Is this by design? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 28 Branched 20180415.n.0 anaconda-28.22.7-1.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: "Install to hard drive" in Fedora Workstation Live. Or start a netinst iso. Actual results: English is always proposed as the installation language. Expected results: In previous versions of Fedora (tested F27) my local language is in some way autodetected and proposed for use during the installation process.
As far as I can understand, https://geoip.fedoraproject.org is contacted to get geolocation info. Going to such URL using Firefox from the Live image, the country where I am is correctly reported.
Well, in fact, in the installation summary page, TIME & DATE is correctly set to my timezone.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 28-final by Fedora user m4rtink using the blocker tracking app because: Geolocation can be very useful and users expect it to work. The fix should also be very simple.

The fix doesn't look *that* simple...I'm still +1 FE to this, but it'd be nice to have the build soon so we can possibly notice if anything unexpected happens in corner cases.
+1 FE.
+1 FE
That's +3 FE, setting accepted.

Tested an ISO built with that version of anaconda , confirmed that locale autodetection seems to work again (it picks English (Canada) for me now, like it used to).

It picks Italian language for me. However. Moving forward with the installation process, I'm asked to set the root password and to create a user and it should not supposed to be (avoid redundancy). Maybe I've built the Live ISO in the wrong way. Adam: what about you?
I tested with a non-live ISO. Those things are only supposed to be disabled on *Workstation* live images, note...
