This is being worked on but will probably not be ready for etch. Using a fixed size is not that well adapted to complex languages rendering, ufortunately, so another solution has to be found (and is worked on). > Another thing is the "Screenshot" button.

It's not planned to be removed and, actually, this is a feature that can be useful enough for people writing documentations intended for other people. Making it less proeminent could be an option, but I don't think it will be worked on for etch, as well (too late). > Another really ugly thing is that when you are inside the "Choose Language" > section, in the country choosing, for example, if you press "Go back", it > goes to the main menu and not to the previous screen. > > Now, both a common user and an expert user expect a "Go back" button to go > **BACK** and not to an unknown new screen.

All this, and the following can be resumed to "please implement backing up in localechooser". However, the complexity of the code in that part of the installer and the very connected relations between language, country and locale makes it pretty hard to achieve. That could happen, if someone manages to get his/her way through my spaghetti code there.... The localechooser code (which is mostly mine, especially when it becomes messy) is now pretty stable, but desperately needs someone with more structured ways of programming than mine to clean it out....a lot. The title cannot change between the language selection and country selection necause both pertain to the same component (and there are very good reasons for not using different components). This would indeed require a change in cdebconf to allow changing the title of dialogs in the middle of a config script. > Also, after selecting "Spanish" in the first screen, the section title > still read "Choose Language" instead of "Escoja un idioma" (or whatever the > translation is). See above. This can only change with deep changes in cdebconf.
