Fair enough.

Your changes can be divided into two sections; adding a language (which is 
a purely data thing) and second having the widget show another column to 
actually do something with it (which is purely visual).
The first is in line with the above link; and I certainly think its a 
great idea!

The implementation of using an extra column is one that I think is too 
simplistic and not effective. The tree structure as shows in the solution 
looks a lot more effective and I'd rather see the second part (the visual 
representation) implemented like that.
This also avoids the problems noted elsewhere in this thread of having 
horizontal scrollbars.

Hope that helps.
