Re: Non-sense language selection
Thank you Roland; I report now a comparison:
I've tested:
debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-gnome
1. At boot menu y choose: Localisation support -> Spanish
2. This causes "welcome screen" to be fully in spanish and be able to
select Español.
3. [Next] at Welcome screen: I can select spanish keyboard
(and I can select in a large list anyway) <- bookworm too
4. Help pages (automatically launched) appear in spanish.
5. Gnome GUI appears in spanish
6. LibreOffice & M.Firefox localize documents language to spanish
7. At Gnome's Settings I can go to Region&Language to change (again)
keyboard layout to any other, and REMOVE english-US. <- bookworm too
* Can't switch language (neither english too) from Gnome's Settings.
What if I test Bullseye in a minor language?
Tried in Catalan:
- Welcome screen: Translated to catalan
- English keyboard: Removable at Gnome's settings too.
- Shell and Applications: Localized
Bullseye's Live build (gnome-amd64) results in a 3,552 MiB ISO image
Bookworm's Live build (gnome-amd64) results in a 3,401 MiB ISO image
I think there is room to restore localisation support, either to boot
menu and/or to Gnome's welcome wizard.

Hello, Gnome variant of Debian 12 Live does not allow to change

It seems to be English (US) as the only language in the world.
The Debian live images are prepared for many languages, but there is no
automated test that tests for them, therefore this scenario was not
evaluated.

If you want, you could report a bug against the gnome package for the
welcome screen (I haven't looked up the name).
Adding more languages more visibly, is on the to-do list.
With kind regards,
