Very nice job, congratulation. For the feedback:
- you may use a plain text label like "additional languages" instead of
a simple "…"
- when you start typing to filter then type backspace, you won't have a
less filtered list again, you have to hit the cross to clear the whole
entry.
- a totaly personal bias : I prefer broon icons like in Gnome instead of
cross, but cross I widely used so I guess it's not a usability issue
