Yes, you just need to create these symlinks in /usr/share/locale (plus
similar links for any other languages that should be available); if you
create these and then run the Sympa make, it will no longer complain
about not finding these four languages, and they will then show up in
the language selector.  But in fact I don't think you even have to rerun
the installer to make it work -- just create the links.

But, as I've also just discovered, you might also need to search for the
module gettext_xs.pm in the Perl path and move/rename/delete it if
found.  I haven't yet submitted this as an issue to the Perl libintl
maintainers as Olivier suggested, but will do so when I get a chance.
