Hi!

What does it do?:
It scans your languages/ dir and lists installed languages in a dropdown during installation.

I don't know if you can read thishttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/patch-choo... , because it was in an area where you usually don't have access unless you're in the beta team. That's why I will repost it here. Maybe it's accessible. Anyway here's my repost then :)

This basically gives you a dropdown of the installed languages upon a c5 install and set the chosen language as active language in your site.php

controllers/install.php line ~987:

$configuration .= "define('LOCALE', '" . addslashes($_POST['LOCALE']) . "');\n";

single_pages/install.php :

<?php
   $folder = "./".DIRNAME_LANGUAGES;
   if (is_dir($folder)){
      $contents = scandir($folder);
      $bad = array(".", "..", ".DS_Store", "_notes", "thumbs.db", "Thumbs.db");
      $files = array_diff($contents, $bad);
     array_push($files, 'en_US');
   }
   ?>   
   <label for="LOCALE"><?php echo t('Language')?></label><br/>
   <?php
   echo '<select name="LOCALE">';
   foreach($files as $language) {
      if($language == 'da_DK') $languageName = 'Dansk';
      if($language == 'de_DE') $languageName = 'Deutsch';
