Comment 6 for bug 34944

I think that the installer and the live CD could be a bit smarter in the default choices for language, location and keyboard layout. Something like the following:

1) If the user selects the language but not the keymap when booting the live CD, base the default choice of keymap (for the live CD and the installer) and location on that choice.
2) If the user selects the keymap but not the language when booting, base defaults on that but keep default language as English (rationale: I think that people are more likely to use a keyboard layout corresponding to their country of residence than to their native language).
3) If the user selects both, select the installers default language based on the language chosen at boot time and the keyboard layout and location based on the boot-time choice of keyboard layout.
4) If the user does not choose a keyboard layout at boot time (e.g. I usually do not, as I don't need it just to boot and start the installer), then base the default choice in the installer on the choice of location. The layout used for the live CD could also be switched at this time.

You might also add a more visible option to change the layout quickly once the live CD is running.
