Installer changes OS language

[ahousseini]

The installer changes the language on the machine. Normal behaviour?

e.g. Upgrade a OS X 10.9 machine in german to OS X 10.11 and the machine is in english after the reboot. OSXInstallerPKG was created on a machine with OS X 10.11 with german as primary language. The installer app was downloaded from the same machine with a german Apple ID.

It's just running Apple's installer. No language choices are being made.

Are you sure? Line 728 in createOSXinstallPkg defines the OS default language... to English. Change 'en' to e.g. 'de' and you install a German language OS. In fact, it sets both German as the default language (e.g. for the login screen) AND the German keyboard map.

Excellent point. I would accept a PR that added a --language flag that allowed one to set that during package creation.

[peterkelm]

Agreed. I think I'll look into that over the next weekend(s)... for now I've just change the language code in that respective line to whatever I needed.
