Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Using the current natty daily-live iso and starting the installer with a french locale from a live session or from the menu you get on the CD by pressing a key and selecting "install ubuntu", a "keep default keyboard layout..." dialog is opened after selecting the timezone (france, paris) and clicking on "next"
The dialog has several issues:
* the wording is technical, XKBLAYOUT, XKBVARIANTS, xorg.conf ... those are not really things users will understand
* the layout it picks is wrong, I selected french and it suggests an "us" layout
* the button should have action titles rather than "yes,no"

Just to be clear about the steps I use
* start the current daily-live iso on an usb stick
* press a key
* select french
* select "try ubuntu", wait for the live session to start, click on the ubiquity icon
(or select "install ubuntu")
* french is preselected on the first screen, do next
* select manual partitioning, pick an user partition and set it to be formated and used for the install, do next
* the french, paris timezone is selected on the world map widget, do next
the dialog from the screenshot is displayed
