Come to think of it, I tested this against EN ISO so you might be
right. I feel too lazy to download ISOs of all locales and testing so
I'll leave this issue (if there is one) to French-speaking people (Do

I think Boxes should choose the first supported lang on the media (if
media has any lang associated) rather than system lang when it fails
to match the lang from system and media. Wouldn't you agree?
