<div>Hello, Norbert.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When installing, I got these messages:</div>

<div> Sorry, no translations available for pt; falling back to English.<br> (If you'd like to help translate the installer's messages, please see<br> <a href="http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html#install-tl-xlate" target="_blank">http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html#install-tl-xlate</a> for information.)</div>
<div>Can't call method "insert" on an undefined value at C:/Documents and Settings/Ad<br>min/Desktop/install-tl/install-tl/tlpkg/installer/install-menu-perltk.pl line 12<br>2.<br>Compilation failed in require at C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\install<br>

<div>C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\install-tl\install-tl>"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe that method "insert" is the one causing these problems. After having this message, I used the already mentioned option -lan en, that got the complete installation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand that mirror selection is independent from language, but actually it did install from the same mirror where it's said there's no translation to pt. So maybe in portuguese mirrors the installers don't have that translation functioning properly, because they did install the english version. But again, I have no knowledge in these issues, so I'm just guessing...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your time. Hope this information can be of help.</div>
