The second stage isn't localised at this time. (In boot-floppies speak,
the "second stage" installer is the stuff that happens after reboot, ie
base-config and all that.)
Even if it were localised, the majority of programs would probably still
not bother to carry different catalogs for specific regions.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Which language string are you
referring to?

You're wrong. The language chooser is the very first screen that
dbootstrap displays, followed by the release notes.

Just for the manual, I think.
