Summary0017167: Language installation via the Options dialog has a confusing/overly complex workflow
DescriptionThere are too many dialogs re. both successful and unsuccessful language installations, along with confusing situations such as the language indicator displaying a language different from the currently active localization.

1) Too many / confusing dialogs in the case of a failed/cancelled language installation:
a)
1 Change Tools > Options > Language --> Espanol (Argentina) [OK]
-->
Invalid Addon! Cannot open file "". The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
2 Click OK
--> 'MediaMonkey will reload...'! (this doesn't make sense--why should MM restart if the language can't switch?!)

What should happen is that after clicking [OK] at step 2, the error dialog should close and the Interface language should remain at the language that's actually active (rather than the newly selected/failed one).

b)
1 Change Tools > Options > Language --> Cestina [OK]
-->
Product Installation: This will install the following product.....
2 Click [Cancel]
--> 'MediaMonkey will reload...'! (this doesn't make sense--why should MM restart if the language can't switch?!)
--> After reloading, language is in English, but selector shows 'Cestina' as the active language!

What should happen is that after [Cancel] at step 2, the error dialog should close and the Interface language should remain at the language that's actually active (rather than the newly selected/failed one).


2) Too many confirmation dialogs following successful language installation:

After installing a language:
--> dialog 1: <language> installed successfully [OK]
1 Click [OK]
--> dialog 2: 'MediaMonkey will reload'... [OK] [Cancel]

The extra popup is annoying. In the case of a successful install, there should be only one dialog e.g.
<language> installed successfully.

'MediaMonkey will reload'...

[OK] [Cancel]

note: If this dialog is just a standard addons dialog, then the standard addons dialog should probably be simplified in the manner described.
Additional InformationPlease push to 5.0.1 if non-trivial.
