It would be interesting to see how hard it would be to add support for the upstream Fedora "install locale on demand" feature that was added to PackageKit in the (from memory) F-12 release. That way you could have a list of languages in the control panel and if they weren't installed PackageKit could just grab them from the nearest repo.

The languages no longer shipped by default are: German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Telugu, Thai, Turkish If you disagree with removing any of these, we can talk about it -- this isn't a final decision. Bear in mind that translations take up a large amount of disk space, as shown above, and it doesn't make sense for XO deployments to carry lots of translations they won't use. (It's still going to be just as possible to create builds that contain these translations, by reverting commits 35e7226.. and f61e839.. from olpc-os-builder.)
