Description

Similar to the hint that was added in #11117, show hints on the basic settings panel when Babel is not installed:

  • Default language - Install babel for extended language support
  • Default date format - Install babel for localized date formats

This was first mentioned in comment:13:ticket:11117.

The major complication I see with this is that Babel should be installed first when installing from source (TracInstall#Fromsource) so simply stating install babel is a bit of an oversimplification of what needs to be done in that case. However I still think the hint will help, and one possible way to deal with the complexity of what needs to be done would be to link to the documentation.

We could add a link to the documentation in places link this,

Install babel for extended language support

or

Install babel for extended language support

The document section I've linked is just for use as an example, for this case we'd probably want to write a brief section documenting Babel.
