Hi, Thanks to the recent grub-pc break down, I had a chance to test d-i when trying to recover one of my machines.
I happened to run /bin/sh in the partition to recover, in which th_TH locale is set by default, and Thai messages are just displayed perfectly, even in full-screen dialogs, thanks to the font and terminal support. So, Thai can be enabled in text-mode d-i. Another thing I found counter-intuitive is the locale and timezone choosing based on the installer language. What if g-i cannot run on my hardware (which is likely to be the case if it's switched to X11, due to the broken i830M support [1], for example) but I need to install Debian on it with my locale and timezone selected? It's impossible with the current UI design.
