I do agree that this is a problem with Ubuntu's language-selector: it can only make one the preferred language. This will be a problem when using ja locale and browsing a simplified Chinese page, such as in your attachment.

However, the proposed files can just eliminate this problem because not a single language activate at a time, all CJK settings are activated, matched by their respective lang tag. In this sense, this is a better solution than language-selector.
