Following up on this we had another idea.

What about putting the language selection in a vertical column on the
left, like the Ubuntu installer does:

https://assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/latest/u/img/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop/image-installdesktoplongtermsupport-1.jpg

And use a similar horizontal dropdown for the keyboard layout.

See screenshot in attachment.

The advantages of this are:

- We get rid of the language labels for that selection.
- We have more vertical space to display more languages by default.
- We have more horizontal space to display the name of the keyboard
layouts (some are pretty long like: "Arabic (Morocco) - Berber (Morocco,
Tifinagh alternative phonetic)" (sic).
