It's fantastic that Ubuntu is available in so many languages.
It would be really cool if there were a simple way to have two language packs installed at the same time and simple way to switch between them while using the operating system.
For example, if I set up a Ubuntu computer for a refugee family here in the States that is still learning English, they could use Ubuntu in English, but if they did not understand something they could click an icon or something to "switch on" their native language.
Imagine how helpful being able to compare and contrast a tool tip in two different languages would be to someone learning to speak a new language.
This could make the computer easier to use while also serving as a valuable and practical tool in learning a new language. This could benefit a whole range of students of new languages.
