Public bug reported: My cousin told me recently that she'd try Linux but she knew nobody, who could show it to her, so I passed her Feisty CD. She replied "You have already gived me this [Dapper CD at that time] and it's all in English!" and I realized, that today language selection is hidden for everybody, who does not understand English. (In other words, you have to know at least a bit of English to be able to switch a CD to your language.)
I can imagine one solution: if possible make language selection a first menu in gfxboot with English selected by default. After you choose a language (or timeout chooses English for you), you should be in localized main boot menu. This would make Ubuntu accessible by people, who don't understand even a word in English and shoud not harm those, who understand well or E. is their maternal language. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ubuntu CD: language selection as first boot menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
