This is related with the new Debian installer mechanism, AFAIR if you press the back button you'll be prompted language and keyboard in different screens.

Translations for the Debian installer are still in progress. Please please please send any suggestion to debian-boot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, such contribution is very appreciated. cheers, free
