TC Behaviour which will not be changed • Re: [Installer] Back button goes 2 dialogs back

This is intentional and will not be changed. The language chooser and the choice to install also all other languages are treated as a unity.
Treating multiple dialogs with Back and Next buttons as a single unit may seem logical, but it conflicts with standard user expectations and common design practices. The convention is for the Back button to return users to the immediately preceding screen.

Currently, to change a choice in a previous dialog, users sometimes will be brought back two dialogs and they need to go one forward again, which is cumbersome and unintuitive. This design expects users to maintain a mental map of dialogs and sub-dialogs, rather than a simple linear succession of screens. This complexity can be avoided by ensuring each Back button press returns to the last visited screen, making the navigation more intuitive and user-friendly.
You will see something similar when choosing to change the ini location, going forward from there, and then going back.
I had noticed that, and I think there too, the Back button should bring the user back to the immediately preceding screen. (And I think the dialog should be implemented differently as I suggested here).
