Description
Themes and plugins can be downloaded from Rosetta sites (locale.wordpress.org). When they're downloaded, they are only available in English and whatever locale packages a theme/plugin author has decided to ship. They do not include language packs made available from translate.wordpress.org.
As a result, if I download a plugin from the German plugin directory and manually install it, even if it's fully translated into German and a language pack is available, I won't see the interface in German. Thus, this ticket.
On manual install, we should check for an available language pack and auto-download the language pack.

Let's see about fixing this one!
Thinking it through, it seems that downloading the language pack when the plugin is activated may work best. I don't believe language packs are updated for plugins that are inactive, but that could be incorrect. I'll try to do some testing to confirm that.
