I feel like this might be more easily solved by using words instead of creating a bunch of complex behavior that the user must figure out.
Instead of a list of languages with the title "Languages" and a pale, tiny "Install" button, why not something like this?
----
Which languages would you like to install?
* English
* Français
* 日本語
* tlhIngan Hol
* Lobjan
(Install)

The "install" would initially be inactive, and transition to an active state when one or more language(s) is selected.
- harrybr 2y ago100% agree this is solvable with words and conventional form fields. But also - it’s usually bad idea to disable a form submit button. It deprives the system an opportunity to tell the user what they need to do (i.e. if it’s disabled you can’t show an error message) and for the same reason it’s bad for accessibility.
- flysand7 2y agoThis doesnt really apply to the language selection, which is somewhat ironic. You can tell the users what they need to do, but... which language do you use to tell them to?
- harrybr 2y agoThe article is about a “one or more“ Ui component and I think you’re talking about a language switcher which is a different design problem.
