Comment (by johnbillion):

 I like that idea. Here are a few brain dumps:

  * We should use two `<optgroup>`s instead of the separator made of
 dashes. One group for installed languages and one for available languages.
  * We should add a wrapper function for
 `wp_get_available_translations_from_api()` which uses a short term
 transient to avoid hitting the API every time the General Settings screen
 is viewed.
  * We should add a filter to allow the installation of new languages to be
 disabled.
  * Needs to handle API request failures.
