Nope, the problem is that Python doesn't come with Chinese support out
of the box so if you haven't installed the Chinese codecs, you
shouldn't be allowed to choose that your list supports that language.
I believe I have code in the Language category that tightens this up
(although it won't de-select Simplified Chinese for you by default).

If the list admin doesn't enable a language, then users can't choose
it either.

Cool!  We just need to get updated Korean translations.
