Comment 1 for bug 605004

I think a solution to this problem would be to have a configuration option along the lines of 'Advanced language and locale settings' that is displayed during the installation. This should take the form of a single button that would open up a menu that gave the user the options to tweak these settings. By hiding it behind a button, it ensures that it will not get in the way of users who are in no need of it.

The menu that will open should have a number of options arrayed in a three-column layout. The first column will contain the name of the option, such as 'Keyboard' or 'Locale'. The second column will contain the option to be adjusted, such as a dropdown menu from which the desired setting can be selected. The third column will contain a brief description of the corresponding setting and the implications of changing it. This will ensure that the user can have a fully customised system that fulfills all of their lingual needs.
