+1

Thats pretty much what i proposed, i think is a good idea to let the user
choose its language and if it doesnt fit on the liveCD then it could be
downloaded from the internet. Someway or another non-english-speakers will
have to deal with english during his FOSS experience, and leaving English as
the default language isnt going to change that much (remember that DVD iso's
default language is english and it change ass soon as you select another
language). so we could add the translation just for the Anaconda installer
and leave the rest of the LiveCD with its default language, and if needed,
the other languages could be downloaded from the internet.
