Having not used the installer for a _long_ time, shouldn't it work like
this:

* User selects language
* (User set's up network only if the installer was unable to do it)
* Installer downloads translations
* Installer asks for remaining stuff (disc layout, package selection,
you name it)
* ...

Most end user systems run behind a home router and have a running
network connection right away. Those users that have to setup network by
hand are surely capable to understand english IT terms like DHCP,
netmaks and IP. Or does it already do that?
