language and region selection manual entry V2.1
Hi
I have already sent this mail to Philip Blundell, so I am now sending it to
the whole list, as the text seems to be ready to be commented/criticised ;) (I
dont want to open a bug just for this)
The problem is, that, as I am not sgml known I can only provide the plaint text entries. I think
the extra numbering of the titles would be appropriat, as currently the
paragraph 5.8 is ``Release Notes'' (on powerpc. 5.7 on i386 respectively). And
it says that the release notes would be the very first requester you are
seeing after starting the installation system, which is obviously wrong, as
you have told me that the language selection requesters will be the first
ones. Maybe this sentence does also have to be corrected iin the "Release
Notes" section. And I don't have a clue about sgml header-id's and so forth.
I am very sorry about the problems which have occurred above, so I hope my
small contribution is still useful for you! I've made a english and a german version
(as my native language is german). If you think the english version is too bad,
maybe an official translator could make a proper english version out of my german
one.
PS: No, I am not using the x.y.z versioning scheme for this text ;)

5.8 Localising the Installation Process
5.8.1 "Choose The Language"
As the first step of the Installation you have to select the language in which
you want the installation process to take place.
5.8.2 "Choose Language Variant"
If the above selected language is being spoken in multiple geographic regions
you are now presented with the region selection requester, in which you can
choose the exact language region.
5.8.3 How the above made selections are being used
The information you provided in the previous two sections will be used,
besides the adaptation of the installation language, to, on the one hand, default you to a
suitable keyboard layout, and on the other hand, to default you to a Debian Mirror Server
close to your whereabout. You can directly alter those default values during the installation
hassle-free in the respective requesters. All keyboard layouts as well as
all Debian Mirrors are still available! Solely a default will be
preselected.

5.8 Lokalisierung des Installationsvorganges
5.8.1 "Choose The Language"
Als erster Schritt wird Ihnen der "Sprachwahl" Requester präsentiert, in dem
Sie die Sprache auswählen können, in der die Installation stattfinden soll.
5.8.2 "Wählen Sie den Sprachraum"
Falls die ausgewählte Sprache in mehreren verschiedenen Regionen gesprochen
wird, werden Sie als nächstes das Regionsauswahlsmenu zu sehen bekommen,
in dem Sie die genaue Sprachregion auswählen können.
5.8.3 Verwendung der von Ihnen gemachten Angaben
Diese in diesem Abschnitt gemachten Angaben werden, neben der Anpassung der Sprache in der die
Installation stattfinden soll, zum einen dazu verwendet, Ihnen ein zu Ihrer
Sprachregion passendes Tastaturlayout als Vorgabewert einzustellen, und
andererseits einen Debian Mirror Server in Ihrer Nähe auswählen. Diese vom
System gemachten Vorgaben können Sie jedoch problemlos während der
Installation direkt bei der entsprechenden Abfrage ändern. Es stehen weiterhin alle verfügbaren
Tastaturlyouts sowie Debian Mirrors zur Verfügung! Es wird lediglich ein Vorgabewert eingestellt.
