Ubuntu 11.10 beta installation.

 1. What you expected to happen

The same as what happened, but without the inconvenience

 2. What actually happened

Supposing a foreign person person in Belgium, let's say an American.

Installation starts.
Language choice: what he speaks: English (twice)
Country for time zone, euro, etc. : Belgium

Answer: "There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country..."
"You can now select the locale that will be used ... [a country where English is spoken]"
And our American guy is requested to move to Zimbabwe or some place, e. g. return to US.
Or to install and configure the system in a language he does not understand.

FYI: a computer located in Belgium is perfectly capable of running in English, see:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Setting-the-POSIX-Locale

As a side note, if he chooses Dutch (his neighbourr's language) the system answers that the messages may be a mix of Dutch and English !!! Make up your mind ;-)

 3. The minimal series of steps necessary to make it happen, where step 1 is "start the program"
1 start the programs
2 all of the above.
