Sorry for not being exact enough, i meant beta 4 of the debian
installer and various daily builds that came afterwards.

To be hundred percent sure I just downloaded again a daily build of
the debian-installer for i386 here:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040614/.
This version has still the issue.

I use the standard kernel that is installed with the debian-installer
(sarge) and right now this is 2.4.26-1. I've tested the issue with
de_DE. The language in the 2nd stage is first German, if you reboot
(for troubleshooting for example) the language switches to English.
Also when the configuration is finished in German (without rebooting)
and base-config is run again later the dialogs are in English again.
