Comment (by swissspidy):

 For (1):

 When I rename/delete both `wp-config.php` `wp-config-sample.php`, I don't
 even get to the language chooser. I immediately get redirected to `setup-
 config.php` with "Sorry, I need a `wp-config-sample.php` file to work
 from.". In this case no language information is available of course and
 this will always be in English.

 Can you perhaps clarify this part?

 For (2):

 The main issue here seems to be that the found `wp-config.php` file isn't
 actually loaded, so `wp-settings.php` (which was loaded earlier by itself)
 and `wpdb` don't know the actual table prefix, so the locale information
 can't be loaded from the database.

 To change the behavior here, I think the file would need to be refactored
 quite a bit so that if a config file already exists, it is actually
 loaded. Then the locale information is known and the translation could be
 loaded.
