[Fedora-livecd-list] RFE: implant locale information into isos like anaconda implants md5sums

[مؤيد السعدي]

Hiyas you too, 

I love to see away to set the default language set at compose time in the
ks file and anaconda should read the language and focus/highlight it by
default on language selection dialog [in liveinst]

my way of doing this is that I noticed that all initscripts source
/etc/init.d/functions which sources /etc/profile.d/lang.sh which selects
the language from /etc/sysonfig/i18n and other places so I added another
place to that file which is the boot parameters

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=454105

and on our fedora-based Linux (www.Ojuba.org) the boot menu passes
LANG=ar_JO.UTF-8

I consider this to be very useful to implement even if it's not the best
way for example as a fail-safe language setting procedure or as a feature
that will help us when gfxboot is upstreamed so that language menu
implementation would be trivial but even if this is done,

I think the right place for default language to be set is in .ks file and
anaconda should respect it and highlight it by default [not skip the
language selection completely] I tried to ask how todo that in
fedora-buildsys-list
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-buildsys-list/2008-October/msg00000.html
but everybody ignored me I think that anaconda already have such feature,
as I noticed a line for language

if self.listStore.get_value(iter, 1) == current:

and another for the keyboard layour

if self.modelStore.get_value(iter, 0) == default:

so highlighting English is not hardcoded into anaconda, and it read current
or default from a place I don't know we need to know what is that place and
to let pungi or livecd-creator set the default there, that's it

BTW: I suppose Hiyas is a greeting in your language, I would love to know
which language is it and what does it mean

O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and
made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye
may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of
Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full
knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
