Fifty already was a rounded-down value (I'm assuming users don't
really care how many there are - what they care about is "does the
list include my mothertongue?"). Options:
several languages too modest (I'd guess it meant five)
54+ languages too specific
many languages plausible, rather vague
dozens of languages also plausible
I still can't find a good verb, but there's the alternative of
jumping back out of list format:
