Description:
When you install the system with archinstall, the Language selected at installation + keyboard disposition are okay but for example, if i install the system with French language, after the reboot, the system is in english, not in french.
2 ideas :
1- Add a selection to push into the locale.conf and locale.gen the language (in a list English, French, Spanish, German, ...)
2- Use the Language of the installation to push the correct language into locale.conf and locale.gen


Additional info:
* package version(s) 2.4.2-1
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
Select French installation
Select French keyboard
Install
See the system is in English and not in french.
This task depends upon

You can workaround this bug by entering the chroot when asked if you want to, and do that:

1. In /etc/locale.gen, uncomment en_US.UTF-8 and fr_FR.UTF-8
2. In /etc/locale.conf replace en_US.UTF-8 by fr_FR.UTF-8
3. Launch locale-gen
4. exit chroot

On the reboot, you'll get the locale you set in the beginning.
