Comment (by axeld):
While that would already improve the situation (although I would leave out
the frame around the text on the right), I would also change the text to
something more helpful, and probably omit the localization notice
completely (or only show it for incomplete languages, since it's
definitely not needed in English).
The text I am thinking of would take away a bit from the Installer welcome
warning, basically "Thank you for trying out Haiku! Have fun." in maybe
more welcoming words :-)
While I am talking about the Installer, I think I would only leave the
"this is alpha quality" warning in the text (as long as that's true), and
move the rest to a more appropriate place that can be visited (several
times, if needed) from within the application. It has too much information
in it to swallow that at once, and still remember it afterwards IMO.
