It does lead to the question - why doesn't our install offer the locales German (German) | (Austrian) | (Swiss) the same way we offer English (UK) and English (US)?
At installation time there is a map, and we typically choose our country. I assumed that this phase selected both country-language and timezone.
It does not - that map only sets the timezone. You're expected to click on the map to select the timezone if the suggested timezone is incorrect (which is informed by the langauge you picked on the first screen in the installer)
We never ask users the same thing twice. Any other functionality in the map nor changing the order of the questions asked wouldn't really make much sense - you need to pick your Language and Keyboard layout on the first screen - so you can read our license and so YaST can accept your keyboard inputs correctly
This thread is about locale settings not translations. As was mentioned elsewhere there is single German translation so initial dialog is simply the wrong place, because as you say its purpose is to select translation not locale.
Getting your timezone/location correct is something which YaST doesn't need to get right to be able to continue with the installation, but we do need to give users an opportunity to correct it before they install, hence the map.
Any idea of putting the map first doesn't make much sense to me - I may be in Germany, but I don't want German as my language on openSUSE.
It is not about *language* - it is about *locale*. Locale has more properties than just language. User may want German language bug not de_DE locale. As far as I can tell currently there is no place in SUSE installer where locale used by installed system can be adjusted (that is what "Details" button on full YaST2 Language dialog does). Whether default locale is derived from initial language selection or time zone map is irrelevant here (except for choosing at which step to present locale customization). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
