Allow installing translations via the language setting on the user profile edit page admin

[barryceelen]

A language option was added to the user's profile settings page. It would be nice to be able to add languages like you can in Settings > General

By "adding" you mean "installing" right?

[barryceelen]

Correct :-)

I'm not sure about that because it would allow non-admins to modify/add files on your filesystem.

I think this feature should at least be allowed for users who can manage options. Without it, an admin has to either install a new language manually, or they have to switch the site language to their preference in order to install it, then switch it back, then switch their user language to their newly-installed preference.

If you are looking for wp_disallow_file_mods( $context ) method, it has been implemented in ticket.38673

I think should use the new install_languages capability introduced in [41268] for this.

I'm doing that in my Preferred Languages feature plugin as well.
