We could simply add one more TreeView containing localized names of territories (babel provides this localizations [1]) matching the language below the language selection TreeView. And in future use GeoIP to preset the right location based on the GeoIP data. Any ideas? Posting to anaconda-devel as this should be a discussion thread.
