For example, initially my system was set to english, and now i'm switching
language/locales to ukrainian, this creates two problems:

1. locales for selected formats/language is not generated, which causes LC_*
env to fallback to 
"C.UTF-8" which creates problems like ark not opening archives correctly and
other bugs, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384451
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430803
2. language packs and dictionaries (you can see it if you run
`check-language-support --show-installed`) such as "firefox-locale-uk
gimp-help-uk hunspell-uk and other" are not installed, leaving user with
incomplete language support after switching.

Installing `language-pack-${LANG}` after switching to corresponding language
will fix problem one as this package generates locales, and user will have
properly translated (instead of C.UTF-8) and working system (no ark problems or
crashes related to C.UTF-8).

Running `check-language-support` after switch to another language will install
missing language packs and dictionaries.

As you see, these two things can fix problems and make users happy, including
me, who faced problems after switching language and locales.
