Thanks for your report!

What you say makes sense IMO, even if I don't think it would be
appropriate to include all that info. But a list of suggested packages
would indeed be motivated.

I think that this notification feature is really a Kubuntu specific
thing, even if it probably makes use of the language-selector-common
package to find the missing packages. I added the KDE Base Runtime
project to the bug report.

Another thought is that if bug #1294858 get fixed (more specifically the
suggestion in comment #3), there would be fewer cases when this language
support notification would show up.

Title:
  Language Support Is Incomplete dialog must show package list to
  install

Status in kde-runtime package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When Ubuntu have missing language packages, it shows in tray System
  Notification Helper message with text "Language support is incomplete,
  additional packages are required".

  But when user do one simple mouse click on this notification - Ubuntu
  immediately asks user password with "Authentication Required" popup
  window, without describing what is planned to do, which packages are
  missing and will be installed.

  After typing password - user will not see any useful info too - only
  small window with unnamed progress bar and standard text phrases.

  After process finished - there are also zero useful info, only that
  process is finished.

  
  Please show more information about this process, before ask user password!

  Very useful info will be:

  - How this missed packages are detected?

  - Why those packages are missed?

  - What packages will planned to install/upgrade (package names,
  versions)?

  - Total size of planned downloads.
