I don't think is generally worthwhile to break out applications translations as subpackages (libreoffice may be a special case here). I don't see why this needs to be a 'spoke' in either anaconda or firstboot. After the user selects a language, it should check if there are extra language-specific packages to install, and offer the user to do so (or ask him to get on the network, if that is necessary). Doing the same in gnome-initial-setup or the control-center is conceivable too. I believe the i18n team has wanted this functionality for a long time. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
