iso-codes alone isn't very useful without its translations and causes test failures in some dependent packages (eg: kitinerary).

I assume that is an over-generalisation, based on the test suite of one single package that tests translations. Most users, running on English systems, will not ever care for the translations. iso-codes itself is useful without translations in such a system. iso-codes-lang has relevant supplements on the locales, so that users installing in other languages than Enlgish will get it auto-installed. And all that is also the reason why https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/934377 is not accepted yet. Cheers, Dominique

The kitinerary test failure just demonstrated why it was required. The ki18n API requires the translation catalogs: https://api.kde.org/frameworks/ki18n/html/classKCountry.html « This requires the iso-codes data files and translation catalogs to be available at runtime. » And a quick test with gnome-control-center with and without iso-codes-lang also shows differences in the "Region and Language" configuration dialog.
