Actually that's a misconception. What language-selector may prompt you
to download is missing language *support* packages of already installed
languages. It's typically packages for spell checking etc.

The main issue of this bug report is still just as valid, of course.

@Dmitrijs:
Thanks for considering the functionality. Personally I think it's utterly important that we are attentive to the first impression prospective Ubuntu users get, and this issue is indeed in that category.

Cheers,

Title:
  Falsely claims that "Try Ubuntu" is possible in all languages

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm testing a French daily build of Ubuntu 13.04.

  Just after hitting "Test Ubuntu", I opened gnome-language-selector.
  It told me that the languages were not completely installed and I answered to remind it me later.

  Strangely, in the list of the "Language of the windows and menus", French does not appear at all, but instead I get a bunch of languages (excepted English) that I'm not using :
  - English,
  - Deutsch (Deutschalnd)
  - English (Australia)
  - English (Canada)
  - English (United Kingdom)
  - English (New Zealand)
  - English (United States)
  - Espanol
  - Portugûes (Brasil)
  - Portugûes (Portugal)
  and probably Chinese (I cannot reproduce the signs bu you can check the screenshot)

  This might be considered as "normal" as the languages are not
  completely installed (as the message said), but still remains very
  strange for a basic end user testing Ubuntu...
