Yes, the native form should be more helpful than the english form.

Maybe I can give you an example: while spanish may be spoken in lot's of
countries, the keyboards sold in those countries might not have the same
layout that the ones sold in Spain, so selecting a "spanish keyboard"
doesn't help them very much I guess, but I can't speak for myself, so I
am just guessing. Maybe a good idea would be to see what other software
installers do and copy them?
