Improved UI message when setting a new language in _system-config-language_
Previously, if you selected a new language to install in the *Language* graphical tool (the _system-config-language_ package), and the selected language group was not available, the error message that was displayed was not clear enough. For example, if you selected `Italian (Switzerland)`, the message displayed was:
Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language
With this update, the message is updated and will look similar to the following example:
Due to comps cleanup, italian-support group no longer exists and its language packages will not be installed. Therefore only setting Italian as the default system language.
The new message means that the new language has been enabled without having to install any new packages. After the next reboot, the system will boot in the selected language.

This is the message customer is facing.
Description of problem:
In system-config-language when customer launches the system-config-language utility and and selects a italian language, He is facing message as 'Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language'
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-language-1.4.0-6.el7.noarch
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch system-config-language
2.select italian(switzerland)
Then it prompts with the message mentioned above.
Actual results:
'Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language'
Expected results:
'The changes will take effect after reboot' message should appear as it appears for English language
Additional info:
For other languages apart from English, the same message appears. But if we click 'Ok' on the message window and move forward the language gets successfully reflected and set after a reboot.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=920025
I see from above description that only the message that is coming for non-English languages need to be changed from
'Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language'
to
'Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language and the changes will take effect after reboot'
No other modification is required in system-config-language right?

Hello Parag,
What I feel is that we need to modify the message here, It says
"Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language"
However, system does install the italian langpack at backend. After reboot, the Italian language is getting set.
I suggest we keep it same as RHEL 6. i.e "Resolving dependencies..." and
"The changes will take effect after reboot!"
Also, we might need to check and confirm whether this works for all non-English languages.
Thanks.
Hi Deepu,
If you check "yum groupinfo <language>-support" on RHEL6 then you can see packages that this group installs but in RHEL7 groups are removed. There is no way to find which packages to install for any language support group in RHEL7. That is why we added UI message that "language support group got removed" and packages will not be installed.
I don't think any packages will be installed when you select any non-English language from system-config-language on RHEL7. It will just set the default language and after reboot it will be effective.
As no packages found to install there will just be a flash of "Resolving dependencies..." message and it will quickly move to the next UI message "Due to comps cleanup italian-support group got removed and no longer exists. Therefore only setting the default system language".
Users might get confused what is happening as they want to see packages installed and language set to selected language that is the reason we added that above message to show groups are removed now.
