Comment (by nacin):

 Replying to [comment:9 johnbillion]:
 > What should happen if `WPLANG` is already set to a non-default value
 when running the installer? Should we skip the language selection, or
 should it still be shown but with that language pre-selected?

 Shown pre-selected. This is part of the suggestions work.

 > Subsequently, will we see issues if the `WPLANG` constant is set to one
 language, but the site gets installed with another so the
 `get_option('WPLANG')` ends up being different? (Thinking of plugins that
 use `WPLANG` directly instead of `get_option('WPLANG')`.

 Plugins using should be using get_locale(). Neither of these are valid to
 use.
