The installer guessed the family's language from the time zone without saying so, and always wrote English as the language the stack speaks. The family language decides the language the bots answer in, the document categories seeded into Paperless and the language voice messages are transcribed in; the categories stay behind when it is changed later. The wizard now asks right after the family name, proposing the language of the time zone. `en` and `de` are offered, the two languages the document categories exist in. The answer is written to `[core] language` and, as a starting value, to `[ai] language`, the language of the voice that reads answers aloud, which can be set on its own. The summary before the install starts shows both. Closes: #153
Installs from before the installer wrote `[core] language` have none. Everything that reads the family language then falls back to `[ai] language`, the language the stack speaks to you, so the bots, document tags and transcription silently follow the voice. `stack doctor` now warns when `[core] language` is missing and names the value in use. A voice in another language than the family's is a valid setup and is not reported.
