Try to ask Máirín, that's what she suggested in the mockup. [1] But
formerly we had
'Translated (translated territory)     English (english territory)' with
quite a big gap in between and it was one of the "usability suggestions"
to make the screen not so overwhelming [2].

It's just incompleteness of translations.

Good points, thanks. I'll add some spacing between the label and the
boxes and make it centered ending with a period.

I'll try to do something about it. The scroll box only gets wider and
wider if languages with wider locale names are selected. But it never
gets back. I'll try to set the default width to some wide-enough value
so that it stays the same.
