Hi all,

Thanks for the testing.

I've updated the PPA, could you please purge this PPA [1] and reinstall it
and see if any problems remain for anyone?

There does seem to be reports of some translations not being there, but I
can't find any that aren't in unity-control-center now. Not sure if there's
some bad interaction with the existing language packs.

[1] $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-desktop/unity-control-center
