Comment (by johnbillion):

 I'm happy with this change, and it mostly looks very good. Changes I've
 made in [attachment:39677.4.diff]:

 * In `site-new.php`, ensure a chosen existing language can still get set
 for a site when the user cannot install languages.
 * Remove `@todo` notes which are now done since [29630].
 * Add a `wp_` prefix to `wp_maybe_grant_install_languages_cap()`.

 Remaining question: Should the three cap checks at the top of `update-
 core.php` (line 22) be altered to include `update_languages`? Is this
 screen usable if a user ''only'' has that cap?
