This is an idea I had, and just want to see some opinions/improvements about it.
Summary of Changes
When installing a fresh Joomla! the first thing is the language selector. But most of the time, you don't need to change the language as it's auto discovered. So this PR minimize the box and moved the selector to a dialog popup. It also fixes some autodiscoveries when e.g. only "de/fr/nl" is submitted by the browser (Firefox does this) to discover "de-DE/fr-FR/nl-NL".

I like the idea.
For A11y: The link must have an underline.
It is not obvious that clicking on the current language name will let you change the language. This is an accessibility failure.
The label could be "Change the currnet language "

@bembelimen Gary and I would really like to see this in 6, as it makes installation a bit quicker and more intuitive.
One thought we had was to have the as a change symbol to draw the eye to this being where you can change the language.
The main issue I see is that when you are in a language you dont understand its not possible to read to switch the language so a symbol could be helpful.
Another candidate would be
@chmst makes the good point that the link should be underlined, this helps to draw the eye to functionality as well
What can we do to support you with this feature?
I like this as it's cutting down the choices needed to set up a site and anything to make the install easier for the majority is good
