So now I tried the GUI installer on Linux for the first time, too.
I was surprised about the German localisation (-:
There is a little cosmetic issue (not really impeding quality): the
Tcl GUI treats escape sequences of quotation marks wrongly.

Master/tlpkg/translations/de.po:2087 says
> msgstr "Medium (\"small\" + mehr Pakete und Sprachen)"
and this is displayed as is, including the backslashes in front of the
"'s, instead of adhering to the gettext standard.
No idea if there is a simple fix for that.

Best,
