Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Honestly, I can't understand what will happen choosing to activate the "Tick this box to install software for this functionality". I'm updating a book about Ubuntu for the Italian market and I founf myself unable to explain to first time users what they should expect choosing this option
The label above it speaks about mp3, flash, wifi and other. The label below refers to mp3 only. The checkbox label says "this functionality" (which one?) and not "those functionalities".
If you are going to install only MP3 codecs, then please use something like "Install software to play MP3 music files" or similar.
If you are going to install several non-free packages, then keep the long label above, use as checkbox label something like "Install software to provide those extra functionality" and add a "More details" link/button to provide the exact list of packages.

Typo, sorry. It should be "those extra functionalities", plurals
