Yes, it was just the language choice -
it came after the localisation choice in the FC-5 installation
which comes before the installation proper begins.

Incidentally, the localisation choice was also a little confusing,
since it was mixed up with choice of keyboard.
Basically, I have a "uk" keyboard,
but would like euros in place of pounds.
Choosing "Irish" keyboard caused Gaelic to be taken as default language,
though that could be changed to English.
But that is a different issue.
