Description Martin Kolman 2015-04-08 13:03:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
Even though the geolocation lookup is actually done, Anaconda does not use the suggested language value and always defaults to English.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start a graphical Fedora 22 installation

Actual results:
English is always pre-selected on the Welcome Spoke.

Expected results:
Language is pre-selected based on language suggestion from Geolocation (users in Czech Republic should get Czech pre-selected, etc.).

Additional info:
I have a patch fixing this available.
Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2015-04-08 13:19:13 UTC 
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 22-beta by Fedora user m4rtink using the blocker tracking app because:

 This means that Anaconda will always start in English, which is a regression to the expected behavior of language being pre-selected based on data from geolocation.

A patch fixing this issue exists and is undergoing review.
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2015-04-08 14:11:46 UTC 
+1 FE for an apparently-safe and tested fix, if we need to rebuild anaconda to fix a blocker or something.
Comment 3 Petr Schindler 2015-04-13 17:29:15 UTC 
Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1].

This bug was accepted as Freeze Exception - this is a highly-visible issue that can't be fixed with an update and inconveniences users who don't read English
