We recently merged in the i18n branch which provides translation of the admin interface.
By default we have dutch, french, german, italian, japanese and russian: http://github.com/radiant/radiant/tree/master/vendor/extensions

I've opted to only load English by default
http://github.com/radiant/radiant/blob/master/lib/generators/instance/templates/instance_environment.rb#L24

But I would like to hear arguments against that if there are any.

My thought was that the language packs are not totally complete and a majority of current sites would not need additional languages, so providing the option should be available to those that need it.
And I'm considering the idea of leaving the language selection out as well, but allow those that need it to turn it on.

What do you think? Should all bundled languages be there by default? Is that interface noise?
Is there an expectation that selecting languages be available by your users?

And, of course, how many and what languages should be there by default? If 10 community members each submit a new translation, should we bundle them all or encourage a separate extension?

I anxiously await submissions for translations in Esperanto, bork bork bork, and LOLcats.
