Version: Karmic.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Disconnect the computer from the network.
2) Start a Karmic installation from the CD.
3) Choose Finnish as the main language.
4) Accept all other install options as the defaults.
5) After installation, reboot.
6) Observation point #1.
7) Shut down the computer.
8) Connect the computer to an Ethernet network that routes to the Internet.
9) Boot.
10) Observation point #2.
11) Install all automatic updates.
12) Reboot.
13) Observation point #3.
14) Go to the language selector menu and set all languages to Finnish.
15) Reboot.
15) Create another admin user.
16) Log out.
17) Log in using the newly-created account.
18) Observation point #4.
19) Accept all language file installations that are prompted.
20) Log out.
21) Log in as the user whose account was created during the installation.
22) Observation point #5.
Actual results:
At observation point #1, the system alerts that due to the lack of a network connection the language files for the selected language weren't installed and they can either be installed by pushing a button on the dialog or later by going to such and such menu. Once the computer is rebooted connected to the network at observation point #2, the prompt does not automatically reappear. Going to the indicated menu at observation point #3 does not cause the files to be installed when switching the language from English to Finnish. Logging in as a newly-created user, the language file prompt appears twice at the same time. At observation point #5, the same prompt appears again to the original user even though the other admin user already installed the files twice.
Expected results:
Expected the system to prompt to install the language files at the first opportunity when the network is connected and the logged-in user is an admin user. Expected the prompt to appear as only one instance at a time. Expected not to have to manually re-choose Finnish. Expected the language pack installation to take effect for all users and the other users not to be reprompted.
This should be fixed in gnome-language-
