Package: languagechooser
Severity: important
The entries for the languages are just too long. This is unnecessary
and harming. For example, I have to scroll down the ru entry, read the
whole line to make sure it's really russian and not Bulgarian,
Ukrainian or Byelorussian, then understand the difference between ru
and ru_RU and the select. This must be more intuitive, for example
Russian (other) - Ð Ñ?Ñ?Ñ?кий (дÑ?Ñ?гие Ñ?Ñ?Ñ?анÑ?) - ru
This would be enough to choose the needed language. It is understood,
that we will continue the installation afterwards.

close 248929
close 215205
thanks
248929: was about the "new" layout...which was reverted and now back
again, with the default correctly to English. I close this way as I am
the reporter
242557, 242556, 242555: the new layout makes this BR irrelevant
236257: less likely to happen with the new layout (no more "choose
this..."). Anyway, no simple solution for fixing it
220705: should be far more evident that the question is a *language*
question and has nothing to do "country-related". Anyway,
making the question simple is intentional-->we don't want to
clutter people with too much information. Explaining the
consequences of the language choice pertains to the install manual
215205: fixed for a while now, either with "old" or "new" layout
243705: this was the major goal of the "new" layout..:-)
