This is not an upstream bug, they don't have language pack support.
It should however be easy enough to hook up the language pack code to
run a check on first visit to region panel.

Title:
The user should be prompted to install language packs needed for their
selected language(s) which are not currently installed
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When I installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18 I selected
"English (UK)" as my language. However when I then installed other
programs such as GIMP and LibreOffice, and used Firefox I found that
language for spell checkers etc was "English (US)", and this would be
because the default is that and the correct language packs for all
these programs have not been installed.
I have found that the only way to install all the needed language
packs is to install the language-selector-gnome. Because when started
it will say "Some translations or writing aids available for your
chosen languages are not installed yet. Do you want to install them
now?" and give you the option to install them, however when starting
the gnome-control-center and going to the "Region & Language" section
there is no such prompt, and in fact no way to install additional
language packs for the chosen language.
And as the language-selector-gnome does actually break some stuff and
is a Unity thing, one should need to install it on GNOME, there should
be an easy way of doing it through the built-in tools made available
to the user.
