Automatically enable single language mode (#1235726) #3
Conversation
Automatically enable the single language mode for Atomic installations. Atomic installations are always single language (and en_US.UTF-8) so the ability to interactively change language settings during the installation can be actually harmful (see bug 1235726 for more details). The single language mode takes care of this by disabling interactive language configuration during the installation.

Seems sane, although I should note this is actually a property of the content and not specifically rpmostreepayload. Atomic Host uses it now, but AFAIK the plans for Fedora Workstation are to enable documentation. So long term, it would be more flexible if we figured out a mechanism for looking at the content payload. |

Do you know offhand if this is available in F23 Anaconda? I'm just wondering what backporting hazards there might be. |
The single-language code is quite new, so it is not in F23. Availability should be like this:
Yeah - if it can be introspected from the content it should be easy to modify the code setting the singlelang flag accordingly. The only issue could be that you would need to know that before reaching the welcome spoke & summary hub as enabling single language spoke so late would make little sense. |

I followed up on the ML for this since it's better for architecture discussion: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2016-May/msg00001.html |

And thanks for the patch again! |
