  Hi! Here's the problem:

  1. Boot in Ubuntu install CD. Choose "Russian" as language. Choose "install" (on right).

  2. Nothing interesting, move on

  3. Move on

  4. City selection screen. I want to choose "Kiev" (Ukraine), but keyboard types in Russian.
  I want to switch to English, but Alt+Shift doesn't do the job and there's no language indicator

  Proposed solution:
  Add language indicator that has chosen language + english (just in case).
