Actually, we ship all our locales in a single product and so if you've Solaris 8 or later, all the locales are in the Solaris Software 1 of 2 CD. (Translated message files and some locale-specific files and applications for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Swedish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean are at the Languages CD by the way.)
We couldn't do that before S8 simply because there were licensing issues on fonts and some input methods that we couldn't resolve until the S8 timeframe which took a lot of money and time from us.
