That doesn't really suit the design, it's trying to be a friendly
welcome screen. Most people are only going to want to pick one language;
it's usually going to be the default, if we get things right. We don't
want to overcomplicate it. The screen isn't a full 'locale selection'
screen, it's a 'hi, here's anaconda, what language should we speak to
you in?' screen.

No, it rather just indicates that the geolocation is not running for you
for some reason and you're falling back to the default. As Ed
established, the geolocation service anaconda uses does work for your
IP, so as he said, it suggests your networking is not actually up at
this point.
