I tried installing with the new graphical installer. Just downloaded 
from the 'current' directory on a mirror. 

In the timezone selection I cannot select my timezone because it is not 
offered. Only US timezones are displayed in the dialog (probably because 
I selected US English as the installer language). 

I do not want to decipher local gibberish while installing Debian and 
still want to use proper local timezone.

You did not select "US English". You selected English as language,
then USA as location. Therefore, it seems pretty logical that you get
choices for US timezones. The dialog that prompts you for a country
explicitely explains that the country you choose will be us to set up
defaults for mirror location, *timezone*, etc.

I suggest you chose "Another" country after choosing English, then
pick up Czech Republic (guessed from your email address). There,
you'll get the Czech timezone as default.

I did not appreciate your remark concerning the D-I localization which
I find insulting for the people who spend their time translating D-I
in your language. Not using your language is your choice but please
respect other people's work.
