Language support for a language means:
* YaST and lcn translations
* OpenOffice.org translations
* translations of various packages, e.g. koffice-i18n packages
* dictionaries, e.g. for aspell and myspell
* Fonts
* Documentation

All in all we're speaking of several megabytes here with OOo alone
using around 12 MB for a language.

The YaST and the lcn translations were always on the base media.

The discussion here is about the other files.

I brought yast and lcn in the discussion to have one objective (ok,
subjective selection) to decide which languages to add additionally.
The assumption is that if we have a language team that cares so much
about the localization of yast/lcn, then we have enough users speaking
that language and caring for it that it makes sense to support this
language fully,


Thanks, understood now. I agree fully with you.
