Bug Description

- Step 6 of 7 is okay, showing "Chinese(
- In the summary screen (step 7 of 7), it is showing that I've chosen the "Chinese(

After i checked the "Chinese" language and press ok, the system auto install more language-packs, and after reboot, it becomes a fully working system with correct chinese menus.
I'd be glad if these bugs would be fixed in the next release so that it will not frustrate new users coming from this region (Hong Kong, which is using "Chinese(
