That would make it worse IMO. Most people are not aware that they can get seperate languagefiles from the site manually. And you end up with the exact same problem... when the server is down, people will not be able to install Plus!.

When that file is not found because the server is down or whatever reason it could just display the languages that are included in the setup file.
yes... i meant something like that...

currently Plus! does that. When the installation starts, it gets the language of Windows' settings and starts the installation in that language, if available. If not, (i think) english is used.
It would be very easy to add an additional text that says that the language of Windows is not included in the installation of Plus and that (maybe) can be downloaded from the server.
