Hi Tora,
IMHO it should be possible to build a big multi-lang install file. A
little math: 70 languages as langpacks x average 21 MB per file = 1.6 GB
Please be honest, as a normal user would you like to download 1.6 GB
because you want to have OOo in Japanese? ;-)
Furthermore, not all languages/platforms will be tested and approved by
the community; this is especially for smaller native lang teams. So, how
to split the tested files from the untested? And how to get the approved
RC builds into a multi-lang installer as stable without to
rebuild/repackage?
So, a good idea to reduce the amount of files and their sizes but IMHO
not really realistic.
At least not if you plan to provide all in one download file.
Dynamically downloading language packs on demand could be something the
installation project is interested in.
Greetings
Stefan
Best regards
Marcus

Stop building individual language versions of installation binary set
for each platform.
Offer the only multi-language version of installation binary set for
each platform.
A user download a multi-language one.
During installation process, a user chooses what language(s) will be
installed to his/her machine.
