dr.spock,

Thanks for the instructions. I was able to reproduce the problem. I have chosen French as the installation language in the Alternate CD. Upon reboot, in the 4-step wizard, I chose Italian. The wizard showed up in Italian, the desktop was partially translated in Italian and applications were all in English.

Given the problem is reproducible and the bug report is complete, I must mark the report as Confirmed. Development will later decide if this bug is invalid, wish list, won't fix or otherwise.

As a personal opinion, I think it's up to the OEM to decide what languages they support. This seems to be already in motion if you read [Feature Request] bug 315644:

"When performing a factory installation, multiple language packs may be installed on the system since it's destination may be unknown. Normally, the user will select their language when OEM config is first launched.
After a fresh Intrepid install, there are roughly 715 updates available because of so many language packs being updated after Intrepid's launch."...
"I think an option should be added to the end of the OEM config wizard to remove extra language support."
