Various modules support translations in the configuration files -- e.g. netinstall which can be instantiated multiple times and can have different names set in the sidebar. This works with a...

Calamares startup happens in three phases: 1. settings & branding reading 2. module loading 3. requirements checking Failures in step 1 prevent the application from starting at all (generally with...
