To tell the truth, 'language' category was introduced for glossary by
mistake, because ERP5 already had 'language' property, and it should be
a property, not a category.

After I realised this mistake, I just removed 'language' category from
erp5_forge business template, but still not decided what should be done
for glossary part...

* the list of glossary languages should be defined somewhere (system
preference?), or all glossary language field should be just a string
field, not a list field.

* anyway we need data migration from categories:language/xxx to
language:xxx.

For the 'workaround' for now, creating a 'language' base category only
for glossary enabled instance as you do is a good idea, indeed.
