This was noticed because of issue #6387. I expected it to be English(UK) and only noticed it was English(Australia) just before I pressed 'Next'. When I tried to change the language, all my entered details were lost. Annoyance factor!

No problem, was merely a minor annoyance.
Most will change language first and then fill in form.

Most will never change language as the browser will correctly select the
required language ;)

Hah! Don’t count on that…I’m IT born and bred for 30 years.
My FF has had that setting since install!
Funnily enough this shows up in GAnalytics too.
Even for sites which are mostly accessed by UK users, the browser language often shows more en-us or other English variants.
Anyway, off to boil my head
Cheers

FWIW the rest of the application stores POST'ed form data into the session in case an error condition comes up and we redirect back to the form so data isn't lost. We don't have that luxury in the installer and since the language change is one of the few installer pieces that appears to force a page refresh (instead of an AJAX action like most everything else), it's indeed one of those edge cases for a day when you're snowed into your home.

I am going to confirm this as an issue but I am not sure if it can ever be fixed with the current installer
