This is related to an Ubuntu patch of the cc_common_language_get_initial_languages() function, which makes the UI show language options for actually installed languages instead of a fixed list of some big languages whether they are installed or not.

My belief is that 'the Ubuntu way' makes more sense for most users, but apparently the initial window isn't designed to handle a long list for the case many languages are installed.
