#42767: 'update_languages' capability is not promped to admins

 Priority:  normal          |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  General         |    Version:  4.9
 Severity:  normal          |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  administration  |
----------------------------+-----------------------------
 since 4.9 my admin user is not able to update language files anymore, no
 information about available language updates is shown. (But is shown in
 the number of available updates in admin bar and menu.)

 When I change in /wp-admin/update-core.php line 630 to

 {{{
 if ( current_user_can( 'update_languages' ) || current_user_can(
 'manage_options' ) ) {
 }}}

 and line 746 to
 {{{
 if ( ! current_user_can( 'update_languages' ) && ! current_user_can(
 'manage_options' ) ) {
 }}}
 it works again.
 So it seems somewhere the capability failed to be added to the admin.
