I suspect Russian would also be affected by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1169019 , but it hits this first.

Proposing as a Final blocker, conditional violation of "When using a dedicated installer image, the installer must be able to complete an installation using the text, graphical and VNC installation interfaces. " (or any other 'must be able to install' criterion) in the case that Russian is used (probably affects non-live as well as live, but I haven't checked yet).
Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2014-11-29 03:06:05 UTC 
Can't reproduce this in Beta, Final TC1 or Final TC4, it really seems to have shown up in RC1 somehow.
Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2014-11-29 03:16:49 UTC 
Actually, the translations seem much more complete in Beta, TC1 and TC4 - the whole Installation Destination screen is translated in those builds, but in Final RC1 it isn't, in fact only the disk size units and the "Local standard disks" caption above the disk selection pane are translated. All the rest of the screen is not translated. Seems like somehow something went wrong with translations in the anaconda .18 build, or the Final RC1 live compose, or something.

Final RC1 Server network install is similar un-translated, but the bug does not happen with that image - only with the Workstation live. Final TC4 Server netinst is fully translated and does not hit the bug either.

Final RC1 KDE live reproduces both the missing translations and the crash.

So, the 'many strings not showing translations' bug affects all, or at least multiple, Final RC1 images, but the 'crash on "existing (size) disk" string' bug affects only Final RC1 live images. Final TC4 and earlier images do not appear to suffer either bug.

We have seen many UnicodeDecodeError bugs appearing only in Live installations before, this seems to be the same case. Something is different in the GNOME session than in the Anaconda's installation environment. However, it should be really easy to fix this (and bug #1169019 too as they seem to have the same cause).
Comment 15 Vratislav Podzimek 2014-12-01 09:29:45 UTC 
Turns out the root cause of this issue and also bug #1169019 is that the new pyparted build's python modules return unicode objects instead of (byte) strings and such combination of unicode objects and utf8-encoded (byte) strings causes issues.

Closing this as a duplicate of #1169019.
