In installer? Default one, probably American English.

Done :-)

>From usability and accessibility POV it would be best to use:
* for ALL (!) aborting, stopping, no-ing, etc. actions -- red "x"
* for ALL (!) accepting, commiting, yes-ing, etc. actions -- green "v"

The actual icon is not that important, the important is to use the same icon
for the same meaning, and quite different icon for different meaning.


If I may add:
* using trash can or shredder for delete would be a plus
* using non-hollow icons for next and back would also a plus -- now they look
like a disabled

My picks (quite conservative):
* negating: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.24/process-stop.png
* accepting: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.24/gtk-apply.png
* neutral (closing): http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.24/gtk-ok.png

* next item: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.24/go-next-ltr.png
* previous item: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.24/go-previous-ltr.png

* delete: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.24/edit-delete.png

The idea is to introduce as little icons as possible, yet enough to
differentiate meaning.
