For building the language-specific DB on demand, I've sketched a progress window. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Launching> I'm not sure of this presentation, though. Embedding the progress display in the USC window (basically replacing the usual launch spinner with a determinate progress bar) would be more elegant, because it would involve fewer windows. But it might lead people to be more frustrated with USC itself.

In any case, generating the DB on launch would be the last resort, used only if the app-install-data-ubuntu and language pack triggers haven't already produced a database in your current language.
