We don't need to put German and English in the same file, that would just be a middle ground between convenience (your position) and file size (my position). I don't think it is important to give people the option to choose the language *after* they have downloaded JOSM - it would be sufficient to give them the option to choose the language *when* they download JOSM. I propose to split up the build process so that it builds a special version for each language. In addition, we can keep building the all-languages version for those in a true multilingual environment (or those on a fat pipe who would rather not be bothered). That would be the easiest way to tackle the problem. I'm not an ant guru but I think even I could do that. (I also like the Web Start idea but I have burnt my fingers with that on Linux using non-Sun Java installations in the past so I'm not sure how far I want to trust it; plus I am unsure how good this works when you're offline?)
