I disagree on that particular point. If someone installs a Debian, and the install programs asks for lat/long, and then the system starts speaking the "right" language to the user, he will never have set the locale explicitly. Two solutions: - Have the install program infer the (default) locale from the lat/long, but the lat / long changing program doesn't touch locale. - Don't mix coordinates and language at all. The install program asks for the default system locale as it does now. -- Lionel
