    Before calling wp_get_available_translations you should include translation-install.php like in the following example:

    require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/translation-install.php' );
$language_list = wp_get_available_translations();

    Otherwise you might get this fatal error if that file was not included before:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_available_translations()
