When starting the Guix installer, the first question is to choose a
language.
You are confronted with a very long list of all sorts of languages.
When you then choose one of the untranslated ones, you just get back to
English.
Wouldn't it be better to just show those where really (some)
translations are available?
Also, if you chose one you cannot go back to the language-dialog. You
need to reboot to choose a different language.

The chosen language should affect the locale in the generated
config.scm, does it not? If the locale in config.scm is correct, then
even if Guix has no translation at least the installed system will
have translations e.g. for GNOME and I believe this issue can be
closed. Just the installer messages remain untranslated English for
now.

It should be possible to press Exit on the next installer steps to
select a different locale. But maybe this does not work because of
the issue with umount-cowstore others wrote about.

Florian

You are right, that's a good argument at the end of installation.
Closing this one, and waiting for Guix-world-domination with full
translations in all available languages :-)
