Side note - I don't see much value in openSUSE's all-or-nothing approach to language support. It's interesting to see that zypper seems to have a concept of "requesting" locales. But installing any locale other than the default means installing -lang packages with support for all languages supported by the package, while the average user will need no more than one language besides English. Are there any packages that actually provide language support split by language? (I don't see any).
Yes. kicad-lang-es-5.1.8-bp155.2.10.noarch libreoffice-l10n-es-24.2.1.2-150500.20.3.11.noarch kde3-i18n-es-3.5.10-lp155.36.69.noarch kde3-i18n-es-base-3.5.10-lp155.36.69.noarch texlive-babel-esperanto-doc-2021.189.1.4tsvn30265-150400.18.1.noarch man-pages-es-4.19.0-bp155.2.3.1.noarch gimp-help-es-2.10.0-150400.16.5.noarch There is no unified naming scheme. Mozilla can download in runtime different languages, but at install time it is a single language package. Both Gnome and Plasma I think did or do different languages packages, but I did not locate this time. If the languages parts are small, there is no much saving by doing separate packaging. The view in Linux seem to be better install all languages, so that all users of a single machine can choose their own different languages, all being available.
