Comment 4 for bug 238634

@Dereck: Does it work for you if you install KDE packages which should be available in Japanese?
----

Generally: I'll try to summarize part of the talk in #ubuntu-bugs about this:

It seemed that this kind of problem might be a bit harder to tackle than was thought at first, maybe if the deb dependencies were scriptable somehow? At least that would be the way to do it on systems like gentoo: Something like having one language meta pack per language, and all i18n'ed packages would check which lang-meta-* packages are installed and as a result depend on the respective individual/specific language package. I don't know if this kind of behaviour would be possible with debian packages, nor if it would be desirable from a maintainers' point of view.

Another possibility would be to automatically install all the language-pack-*-LANGUAGE packages at (K)ubuntu install time. This way might, however, increase the install cd size to more than what's acceptable.

Or there are other ways that the real devs could come up with (more than I could).
