Then maybe first make him select a language and then show all the "locations" 
that exist for that location in a seperate screen?

So then instead of having location likes Netherlands, Germany and France for 
English, one would have a list like:
United States
Great Brittan
Australia
Canada
International
International, euro currency

With maybe tooltips or something like that saying for example for international:

---
Metric: metric (meters, kilo's, etc.)
Paper:  A4
Date Format: <current date in format>
Currency: euro
---
