Many things can be addressed with live-config and the use of the
--bootappend-live textbox. I think many of your questions can be
answered on settings by reading the man page for the live-config page.
Below is an exert on locales:
live-config.locales=LOCALE1,LOCALE2 ... LOCALEn |
locales=LOCALE1,LOCALE2 ... LOCALEn
Allows to set the locale of the system, e.g. 'de_CH.UTF-8'. The
default is 'en_US.UTF-8'. In case the selected locale is not
already available on the system, it is automatically generated on
the fly.

See above on live-config man page.

Do not edit, just rebuild from web-builder or setup build on local machine.
