PackageKit doesn't provides such an interface for installing locale packages. I guess you can use libzypp instead of zypper to avoid authentications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

PackageKit doesn't provides such an interface for installing locale packages.
Well, this is a request to provide such an interface. It could be implemented as e.g. "locale:xx" resolvables.

That wouldn't make any difference, both need root. This is the main reason why a PackageKit API is necessary for this to be called by applications. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I recommend creating an issue at upstream github[0]. This is something that should be discussed upstream. *[0] https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/issues -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
