And I have a few like that for AOS too ;(((

If everyone used English (as he should, some would no doubt argue),
we

not be having this discussion. :-D

Indeed, I am guilty as charged for not reviewing the other

(at all,
in this case). :'(

Well, it's part of what we're supposed to do. I'm sorry sometimes
somebody "has to" report something because I didn't clear my to-do
list
fast enough, though. So many wasted hours :(

I didn't check because the change that caused this was to the build
system not any of the resources. In retrospect I should have realized
what could happen.

You aren't expected to think of everything. That's why this is a team
effort.

:-)

I wish there were something we could do about the non-CP850
language
names,
such as to localize the dropdown content itself. We can discuss
for
a
future
release, I guess.

The names /are/ localized,

Quite right. I meant to say, localized for the currently-selected
language. Thus:

English
Spanish
French
German
Russian
Czech

I can do this if that is what everyone want or I can translate
Spanish
and German but leave Russian and Czech in English. Let me know.

See my previous comment on this. It just stands to reason that a
native
German speaker, installing on a system with LANG=de_DE, would expect
to read these names in German. If he then shifted the language to
Englische, he wold expect the names to be in, well, Englische, because
presumably, he switched because he can read it.

My mention of the timezone names list is key, here. In ArcaOS and in
TIMESET, the countries and zones are localized. I see no reason not to
localize the language names for the same reason.

The names for all the languages is drawn from one place so the German
version will show English not Englische.

I know. My point was to illustrate what might be in his mind (Englische
vs English - that was an easy one).

However I think this is correct. The dialog now shows each language
correctly spelled and rendered in its native language.

I have to look at RC6. I should probably not muddy the waters until I
see this post-RC5.

If installing with lang=de_DE, I would expect by default (no language
changes, yet) for the list to look more like:

Deutsch
Englisch
Französisch
Russisch
Spanisch
Tschechisch

Just my way of thinking of it from here.

This makes no sense unless you think we should change the current translated names in the English version to

Chez
German
English
Spanish
Russian

(ie no translation).

I thought the object of this was for people with limited language skills to be able to see their language in their language on this list.  Thanks
