(Get the code!)
So, several years later ...
The core problem here is that it isn't always straightforward to install language support for a variety of reasons. Sometimes packages are faulty and fail to install, but, much more commonly, the packages aren't always on the CD and sometimes need to be fetched from the network. This can of course fail for all sorts of exciting reasons. We don't want to block installation on this kind of thing; you should get a system that at least somewhat works, and be able to fix it up afterwards.
Much of the confusion here arises from the fact that nothing tells you what's wrong, or how to fix it. Thus, what we're going to do is display a desktop notification in the event that you have incomplete language support. Clicking on the notification icon will launch language-selector, which will do its best to fix it up.
