Its a bit different. When you install the machine and base-config is started automatically after the first reboot you usually configure the machine. If you just reboot (via switching to another console and entering shutdown -r now or reboot) the machine runs automatically in the base-config again (no manual interaction) and then the base-config goes on in English. > If so, this means you run base-config with root's environment...which > does NOT have the LANG variable set.

Ok I understand, but in what context is the base-config then run during the initial installation? If even in the above described way this is intended then I think this should be documented somewhere clearly, for example in a readme file that comes with the CDs when being released, so that others know its not a bug.
