From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: During installation I selected Dutch as default and English (USA) as additional language. Pointing to the 'language' selection on gdm after booting Phoebe opens a large window of all languages that Red Hat supports, which is odd because I only installed Dutch and English. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. During installation, select only a couple of languages, e.g. Dutch & English. 2. After installation at the gdm screen, click on 'language'. 3. Actual Results: Notice that gdm offers all languages from A to Z Expected Results: Maybe gdm should only offer those languages which the user chose during installation? Additional info: gdm-2.4.0.7-14 Red Hat Linux release 8.0.92 (Phoebe)
Hmm, I'm not sure this is a good idea; we don't really have a global concept of "which languages are installed" - the selection in the installer only affects those packages that the installer installs. You could still have a lot of stuff installed that *did* support more languages, either because you did an upgrade, or because you installed third-party packages. Also, I think we're changing it so that you get all translations always, and the language choice is just for your default language, though I could be wrong about that.
I confirmed that all languages will always be installed now, so I think this is no longer an issue. It might be nice if you could configure what languages gdm offered; that enhancement request should really go to bugzilla.gnome.org.
