The language support screen is gone, yes.  Instead, there is a package
category for which languages you want to support.  Not having the
install-time language be the default system language is a bug that I've
been working on and may or may not be fixed in Rawhide depending on the
exact day and what I have been up to.  I have another big batch of
commits to do either today or tomorrow concerning this.  When it's done,
you will also automatically have the proper OO, aspell, etc. language
packs.
