Ultimate Extras - where have the language packs gone??

Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1. In order to install the SP1, I had to uninstall
the non-English language pack I was using, and after SP installation the
Ultimate Extras list of language packs disappeared. This was expected
behavior and it was described in the SP release notes. However, if I
remember well, it was also announced that, once other languages are
available for the SP, this list would reappear.

Now the Vista SP1 is available in other languages, but my Ultimate Extras
list is still empty. How can I get the language packs back?

A language pack is not available when you click "View available updates"
after you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1

WOW! What a timing!
It seems I started being impatient just in the nick of time.
Thanks a lot for your kind help.
