Ah, I've just noticed the extra dash in the package name. I apologize,
there was a typo in step 3 (the additional dash before $LANG), which should
actually be:

3. Run `sudo apt-get install language-pack-{gnome,}$LANG-base` on that same
terminal session (replace $LANG with your 2-letter or 3-letter language
code, e.g. 'ca', 'it', 'ast', etc)

Let me know if this works for you

Cheers,
David.
