Well, sorry I though was a bug because usually there is the first choice
that is the string translated as "System language" but you can't go wrong
because it is the first (top) of the list. Then are listed the other
languages. Some use to translate the languages into the current language
(as Inkscape) some prefer using to type the language name in its own
language (as GIMP: so Italiano, Deutsch, English, Français, and so on).

But in any case the system is coherent, there is no "special" language.

Anyway it is not so important...
