I am not sure how we can fix this. Hoo: Ideas? I am inclined to close this as wontfix because most language links are migrated now and this should be the exception.

I'm inclined to say: wonfix: This is a rather rare edge case and coming up with a UI that makes sense for this is hard.

Ok. I am closing this as I don't think it causes a lot of confusion and I don't see a good way to expose this to the user except through the visual editor which is on the roadmap already.
