So even if there's English for the language, an English speaker can't
properly set the territory as the UI is designed.

LOL very good points, you've convinced me. :)

Reasonable.

So a toggle: "Use English for Installer Language" checkbox, that uses en_US.utf-8 for the installer UI, and then that also causes the language + territory listing to be in English only rather than the native writing system for those languages.
