Unless I am really confused, I recall that in oS v10.x there was no such 
limit, or none that I ran into -- am I mistaken? I find this arbitrary 
limit to be a sign of somebody's narrow mind. Probably someone who knows 
two languages, English and PigLatin.

I am also annoyed by the fact that whoever inflicted this limit thinks 
that it is so obviously justified that it need not be mentioned 
anywhere, even in the help system. One would think that, at the very 
least, there would be an error message saying "Sorry, you ran out of 
languages".

It's hard to believe, and even harder to foregive.

Good to have company. Do you have a workaround? How do you manage?
