There is actually a new class of 'addons' coming for the -lang packages. All of them have the metadata ni this form: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Copyright 2016 openSUSE - file is auto-generated --> <component type="addon"> <id>${METADESKID}-lang</id> <extends>${METADESKID}.desktop</extends> <name>Translations</name> <summary>Translate the user interface</summary> <metadata_license>CC0-1.0</metadata_license> <updatecontact>https://bugzilla.opensuse.org</updatecontact> </component> All -lang packages will be Name=Translations - so the addons definitively need to be allowed to have duplicates - something better is needed it seems.
