So I tried to tweak Máirín's suggestion a bit and implement it [1]. I
think it's pretty good, but we should probably make it wider to use a
bit more space. Othewise there is a lot of empty space and the list
views and columns are kind of "squeezed" together.

Any other suggestions are, of course, welcome. I'd just like to point
out that these changes aply also to the "Language Support" spoke which
should provide languages together with their locales as well.
