[system-settings] language page does not follow phone designer

[Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho]

Language page shows a very different layout from others pages. It contains its own header and buttons on the bottom of the page as you can see on the attached image.

Should it follow the SDK page layout?

The question "Should it follow the SDK page layout?" could have been answered by reading the relevant part of the design specification. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguageAndText#display-language-phone> "Unlike the other System Settings screens, changes in the 'Display language' screen should not take effect immediately, for two reasons. First, the whole UI being in an unfamiliar language would make an accidental change highly disorienting. Second, the list of languages is long, so the previous language may not be visible while scrolling, making reverting an accidental change moderately difficult. Therefore, instead of being part of the page stack, 'Display Language' should be a dialog with a radio list (bug 1289302) “Cancel” and “Confirm” buttons."

There are several visual design problems with the dialog: the color scheme is inconsistent with other dialogs, the title is too small and has too much padding, the body area separator doesn't extend all the way across the dialog, and the button spacing is inconsistent inside the commit area. But the premise that it is a page at all is invalid.

I reported bug 1503220 on the dialog header being inconsistent with other dialogs.
