Jan, another thing, that I already mentioned sometime ago in one of my many many posts here :), it would be great if these multilang installers would offer the installer language option - e.g. when starting the installer first the selection of installation language would pop-up. The installer would then run in that language and automatically offer GUI and dictionaries of that language as presets, and offer the appropriate help package download.
I prefer language selection based on user selection and not on the OS language, because some users have English GUI in OS, but want a localized LO. Example: if I am Slovenian, I would select Slovenian language, the installer GUI would be Slovenian, the defaults for installation would be Slovenian GUI and Slovenian and English dictionaries. If I would want to manually change the things to install I would still be able to select and deselect other languages etc. And at the end of installation I would be warned that help is only online and that for offline help I must follow the given link to the Slovenian helppack.
