--- Comment #6 from Christian Lohmaier <[email protected]> ---
modifying the download as it happens is a no-go. Virus scanners would go nuts,
you could not provide checksums/verification, digital signatures would be
invalidated.

Listing languages to pick will also present the user with an English
"greeting"/instructions to pick a language, so only helps partially, as a
"shortcut" to the customized installation. So it could just tell to pick
"custom install" and select the language(s) to install" right away without
/that/ much of a difference (IMHO).
Ordering/romanization/labels of languages differ. So providing a list to pick
from in effect forces to pick from English terms for the languages, even if
started in a locale where auto-selecting the language of the installer would
work.

A localized dummy-installer (i.e. single-language, the one that was selected on
the dl-page) that in turn calls the actual installer with some magic to select
the language also isn't that nice, as it is an additional download or a "web
installer" like thing that would need to download the real installer. This
makes installing to multiple systems more complicated.
