ubiquity always includes all the translations there are for it, and none of its translations come from language packs. > - Would these additional languages still be easily installable once there is > an Internet connection (during or after the installation) > usually, ubiquity tries to download and install language packs during installation if there is internet connection. Otherwise incomplete language support dialog will be shown upon login offering to complete download & installation of the language packs. All of the above has always been the case (or has been the case for a very long time time).
