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... 
:-(
