Bug#174190: locales: locale selection should also include language names
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.1-7
Severity: wishlist
The idea with having the user select his/her own locale is great. But
for newcomers to Linux, the locale names aren't really understandable.
So it would be excellent if the language name of the locale could be
spelled out next to the locale name when configuring the locales
package.
E.g.:
Danish (da_DK ISO-8859-1)
Spanish (es_ES ISO-8859-1)
British English (en_GB ISO-8859-1)
American English (en_US ISO-8859-1)
etc.
That's a big jump for user friendlyness when installing a new Debian
system, imho.
