--- Comment #19 from Rajesh Ranjan rranjan@redhat.com --- (In reply to Amit Shah from comment #15)
A safe default is a usability issue, rather than anything else.
If I travel to the Czech republic, and suddenly if the default language selection is Czech, I'll be annoyed at an extra step to go before I proceed with the install.
Similarly, a person traveling from Chennai to Pune for a FAD event (say) gets Marathi as default, he'll be annoyed as well.
A safe default just ensures good UI and usability, rather than promoting any regional or language-based preferences (and least of all, shoving them down users' throats).
So for the usability purpose whole world should use one language as default? You want to say like this. This analogy can be elongated to say that I can feel bad when I see anything other than English anywhere it annoys me. But have you ever cared a person who feel annoyed when s/he sees English.
Please Try to understand, actually your suggestions kills usability. Please try to understand that treating English just like other language gives us (Fedora) an added advantage of supporting the diversity of the world at its fullest and as a Fedora contributor anybody should be proud of it whether one belongs to English, or Czech or Hindi or Tamil and any language.
Otherwise don;t make default selection, let the user select, a level playing field for all user.
