I think everyone has the 3-5 MB on internal storage needed to install at
least one language pair.
The discussion is whether we should requre extra permissions to be able to
store MANY language pairs. In that light I think 25% is good enough.

BTW, I think people with storage problems can move the whole app to SD,
right?
We have android:installLocation="auto" in the manifest:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html
"If you declare "auto", you indicate that your application may be installed
on the external storage, but you don't have a preference of install
location. The system will decide where to install your application based on
several factors. The user can also move your application between the two
locations."
