Description

wp_dropdown_languages() shows wrong list of installed languages, when 'languages' is empty. That might be intentionally, but is still very confusing, because the values shown in the dropdown are wrong.

Improvement:


        if ( empty( $args['languages'] ) ) {
                $args['languages'] = get_available_languages();
        }

I think the expectation here is that the list of installed languages has to always be provided. That's how core and the few plugins using this function handle it. Quite useful because then you can easily only show the dropdown when there are actually some languages. Doesn't seem like it's worth adding such a default.
