Yep, I am ranting, too. It's a regression, not a benefit. As a slavistics and italianistics student, I need italian, slovenian and serbian cyrillic writing support (+ english is sometimes useful, too), because I read and write in all those languages for study and work, while my native (and default GUI) language is croatian. Am I supposed to have 4 (or even 5) different complete language packs installed on my system now? It would be crazy, I don't need all that. I want my GUI to be in croatian, while being able to use all the benefits of writing in other languages, without the need of installing all those translations.
I want those checkboxes back. At least, make an "Advanced" button or something that would let us choose more in detail what language packages we exactly need, in case we don't need them all... The actual design is very bad for people working with various languages. The way it was before was just great. I was always promoting Ubuntu among my co-students for this feature, not anymore... :-(
