Title:
  gnome-language-selector incorrectly installed/configured

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  > lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  I believe that language support is not correctly installed configured.
  I was lead to the gnome-language-selector by trying to understand why
  the Ubuntu Software app failed to find any applications/search its
  database.

  One solution proposed was to change language selections from Language
  Support in settings. When I tried this the only languages available
  for selection are US English and English. Other languages, including
  Australian English were visible in the list but 'greyed-out'.

  I failed by any means to install further language support, including
  using the 'Install/Remove Languages' button on the "Language Support
  dialog.

  When I trued to report this problem I used the system app to find the
  process. It is called gnome-language-selector in the process list and
  process properties. ubuntu-bug said "dpkg-query: no packages found
  matching gnome-language-selector". But there it was in the process
  list. I then used ubuntu-bug -w to initiate this bug report.

  In summary:
   Ubuntu Software Center GUI application  does not work because of some configuration/software error in  'Settings -> Language Support'
