Assuming that the content is platform-independent (I didn't check this), the main reason is that language packs are installable, and there is no universal install mechanism, the installation/removal is done using the standard system procedures. The solution here seems to make the language packs not system-installable, but installed by the application, as if they where extensions. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
