 Themes and plugins can be downloaded from Rosetta sites
 (locale.wordpress.org). When they're downloaded, they are only available
 in English and whatever locale packages a theme/plugin author has decided
 to ship. They do not include language packs made available from
 translate.wordpress.org.

 As a result, if I download a plugin from the German plugin directory and
 manually install it, even if it's fully translated into German and a
 language pack is available, I won't see the interface in German. Thus,
 this ticket.

 On manual install, we should check for an available language pack and
 auto-download the language pack.
