Comment 3 for bug 59116

That has nothing to do with your bug description, which states: "Ubuntu should make translations and input/display support packages available separately." They are already available separately. Your use cases indicate that someone should be able to install input support for French, Chinese and Persian, without localizing their system and installing translations. This too, is already quite possible.

"Having to figure out which packages I need to install to get Chinese language input and display support" may indeed be a problem; but it has nothing to do with your original bug report. Also, it wouldn't qualify as a bug, but a feature request; as such, I would encourage you to submit a feature specification to make this easier to do: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications . If you do create a feature spec, please notify me, as I would be interested in seeing this happen as well (currently, it is necessary to do some searching on the wiki for information on how to do this).
