Install/Remove Language show only English, no other choice

So my question is, when I want to choose other language to install, it shows only English installed (checked), but what I can see in the other posts, there is a list of languages that allows user to choose.

I am a totally new to Linux. What should I do to get the list of languages to appear)? Why is this happen, is it because I've skipped the language packs during the installation?

Something appears to be missing. It's not the fact that you might have skipped language support at the time of installation as I have an EeePC that I installed without a network connection and I can indeed get to a full language selection screen by clicking the Install/Remove Languages button as per the instructions below.

The only things I can think for you to do at the moment is install the languages individually as suggested by Mowgli, or try to re-install the gnome language selector and see if that fixes the problem:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install language-selector-gnome

You then need to open the language selector from system settings and click on the button Install/Remove Languages. You will get a separate window that opens where you can select additional languages to install.
