IMHO this is not a bug because there is a considerable overlap with yum
package. Consider this scenario:

1. I install a language XYZ support using s-c-l
2. s-c-l marks a visible flag (e.g. checkbox) in s-c-l for this language XYZ
3. Now using console I remove this language XYZ support (e.g. yum remove
@XYZ-support)

Now, until unless yum decides to notify s-c-l about this change, in some way,
there is no way to keep track of already installed languages. 

Otherwise every time s-c-l starts, it would have to probe/read yum database to
decide which language support is installed. This is a kind of overhead for
s-c-l every time it starts.

Until there is an event request-notify kind of architecture (or request broker
architecture as in CORBA or maybe Dbus) in place, yum will not go on notifying
applications, about package changes.

What say you?
