That makes sense. However, as far as I can see, the `./discourse-setup` step (as explained [here](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#edit-discourse-configuration)) will generate the `app.yml` _and_ start Discourse in one step.

Maybe a solution for this would be to ask for the interface language within the [`./discourse-setup`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/master/discourse-setup) dialog?

**Update** : I have created a PR for this:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse\_docker/pull/319](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/pull/319)
