+ <title>Selecting Localization Options</title>
+
+<para>
+
+In most cases the first questions you will be asked concern the selection
+of localization options to be used both for the installation and for the
+installed system. The localization options consist of language, country
+and locales.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The language you choose will be used for the rest of the installation
+process, provided a translation of the different dialogs is available.
+If no valid translation is available for the selected language, the
+installer will default to English.
+
+</para><para>
+
+The selected country will be used later in the installation process to
+pick the default timezone and a Debian mirror appropriate for your
+geographic location. Language and country together will be used to set
+the default locale for your system and to help select your keyboard.
+
+</para><para>
+
+You will first be asked to select your preferred language. The language
+names are listed in both English (left side) and in the language itself
+(right side); the names on the right side are also shown in the proper
+script for the language. The list is sorted on the English names.
+At the top of the list is an extra option that allows you to select the
+<quote>C</quote> locale instead of a language. Choosing the <quote>C</quote>
+locale will result in the installation proceding in English; the installed
+system will have no localization support as the <classname>locales</classname>
+package will not be installed.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you selected a language that is recognized as an official language for
+more than one country<footnote>
+
+<para>
+
+In technical terms: where multiple locales exist for that language with
+differing country codes.
+
+</para>
+
+</footnote>, you will next be asked to select a country.
+If you choose <guimenuitem>Other</guimenuitem> at the bottom of the list,
+you will be presented with a list of all countries, grouped by continent.
+If the language has only one country associated with it, that country
+will be selected automatically.
+
+</para><para>
+
+A default locale will be selected based on the selected language and country.
+If you are installing at medium or low priority, you will have the option
+of selecting a different default locale and of selecting additional locales to
+be generated for the installed system.
