will pop up a notification letting you know that additional packages are
required, but won't tell you what they are.

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:
  Confirmed

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.
