Philipp,
Maybe the solution you propose is easy to implement if you know how to do it. I for one don't. Please feel free to provide code.
The language-selector UI is planned to be replaced in the standard
Ubuntu distribution by the corresponding UI in gnome-control-center. It
will probably happen during the S development cycle. For that reason it
would be hard to find an experienced developer who would want to spend a
significant amount of time with redesigning language-selector.

Title:
checks "admin" group membership instead of querying polkit
Status in PolicyKit:
Confirmed
Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
In a new install of Ubuntu Precise, I cannot make any system-wide
changes in the language selector (such as installing languages or
clicking "Apply System-Wide"), only user-specific changes. All those
controls for system-wide changes are greyed out, although my user does
have sudo abilities and I would be able to enter the root password of
the machine.
The machine is freshly installed, but with customizations specific to
our site, e.g. ldap authentication for users. Specifically, my user is
an ldap user, not a local one, and there is a group in the ldap
directory which was granted sudo capability by adding it to
/etc/sudoers. My user is part of that group. sudo on the command line
and gksudo work fine.
