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...

Couldn't Plus! when installing or w/e find the system's language (from the registry perhaps?) and if it doesnt match the list of languages contained in the installer, maybe pop up a simple message giving the user a webpage with all the translation files (a forum post perhaps? and maybe an "official" page too, so if one server is down then at least they can try the other?)
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.
