For a long time I've been wondering whether Anaconda supports something
like this.  Interesting to hear it is already possible.

I agree the language should be selectable as early as possible, but it
should be done through a menu rather than guessing the correct language
and country codes.  In Ubuntu, I think, the language can be chosen from
a menu right at the start.  Something similar would be nice to see in
Fedora, too.
