Danke für die Erklärung :) Then that makes sense and I can see your point. The “Live-CD generator” would be used by advanced users, e.g. by Mageia contributors wanting to create a set of German LiveCDs for the LinuxTag in Berlin, and the average users could still download our tested ISOs with all locales on the LiveDVDs / DVDs or in English on the LiveCDs.
