Add a section about switching the display language: language packs
must be installed through the Extensions view (the standalone CLI
does not register them), and the packs on Open VSX can lag behind
the bundled VS Code version.

Tip: if you install packages from your own poudriere repository, add the
language server packages to your build list.
+## Display language
+
+To switch the UI language, install the language pack **through the
+Extensions view** of the running instance (for example "German Language
+Pack", `ms-ceintl.vscode-language-pack-de`), then run "Configure Display
+Language" from the command palette and pick the language. A language
+pack installed with `code-server --install-extension` on the command
+line is not registered by the running server; (re)install it from the
+Extensions view instead. The packs on Open VSX can lag behind the
+bundled VS Code version, so very recent UI strings may stay English
+until the pack catches up.
