After having a look at the document (Murat sent me privately, thanks for it) I can confirm it's this bug. I've made a patch for this and attached it there.

The presence and contents of the language choice sub-menu is computed at run-time based on the currently used languages. If this is too smart... I don't know. When going from mono-lingual to multi-lingual it's not convenient indeed. But the alternate solutions are not that obvious. Stephan
