Hmm... and how are the users now going to install an input method module
for, let's say Japanese, without installing all the translations?
I.e. I just want to be able to type Japanese, but I don't care about the
localized GUI, since it's not my native language, or I just prefer the
English GUI.
The checkboxes were there for exactly this reason. Being able to just
display (fonts), or type (input methods) a language without having to
install the translations.

If you want the users to do this in software center, you need to add a
simple interface for them to choose what they want:
* Fonts -> Language -> Install
* Input Method -> Language -> Install

Until then, please don't remove this functionality.
If you decide to put all the dependency handling into the application,
fine. But then please fix the checkboxes, so that they use the same
mechanism.

Just my two NT$.
