The installer should read the language of the OS its running on (easy on windows, unknown how to do that in Linux-BSD-Unix and present dialogs in that language, along with bitmaps during the install process (if any). Then, the US-English release should be installed, and any additional languages needed should be downloaded after the fact, the first time the app is run (if "detected OS language is different from US english", or as a second step after installation. Now, of course it is easier said than done. ;) Or "everything works, in theory". ;) FC
