Hi Thibault, and thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better by reporting this issue!
It's my understanding that the languages you mention (English, German, Spanish, Portuguese and simplified Chinese) are preinstalled in the desktop image. If you select one of those languages and click "Try Ubuntu", you get a decent preview experience in the selected language.
However, if you e.g. select French, it just generates a French locale, sets $LANG to fr_FR.UTF-8 and sets a French keyboard layout. It does not install the French language packs, even if you are connected to Internet, so - as you already know - you don't get the expected preview experience in French.
This is an issue with the Ubuntu installer, so I change the affected package accordingly.
