After choosing English as language I would like to choose France as location. This is not possible however as it seems only English-speaking locations are provided (see attached screenshot).

Both terms used, ‘locale location’ and ‘territory for this language’, refer to the second part of your locale's name such as fr_CA. There is no en_FR. It would not make sense to offer that choice. AFAICS the word ‘territory’ is taken directly from section 6.7 of the relevant standard[0] and should not be replaced with something ‘friendlier’ but inaccurate. Perhaps you could suggest another sentence to explain out what it means (and what it doesn't). What would have avoided this misunderstanding? Which other GNU/Linux distributions have you installed without issue? And: what did you actually want to set? The only reason your OS installer ever needs to know your physical location is IMO to set the time zone, which is a separate step. Thanks!
