+Well, they will use live environment in english after installation and
+install corresponding package like normal package installation. That's
+all. The situation in my proposal with no internet is same as the
+locales do not have supported in live cd releases. i.e. Azerbaijani.
+If someone needs full locale or packages support it already have to
+install from Free dvd release. Don't they?

After that you where prompted to enter a key for the gnome keyring and it wasn't clear at that time which keyboard layout is used. Also in the end of the installation where you have to enter a password for the user.

+Wireless connections are mostly issues in free dvd releases too.
+People have to enable non-free repository and install wireless drivers
+on most cases. Also, misconfiguration of keyboard layout is a serious
+problem than having native language support, you must find right key
+kombination to setup and use root password. So, i can' t agree with
+this issue, it is not related just with my proposal but with entire
+system.
+
+I think my proposal have much more pros than cons.
