A long time have I wondered why a Swedish man/woman would want to have
more languages on his/her iso to install just Swedish as language.
Look at the Live-iso's that we have to offer, they come with 16
languages each.
I fail to see the problem.
Last time I checked, Mageia gives the user a choice of what language to use 
during install, and it only install the selected languages.
It does not install all 16 languages, only one or two, depending on whether you 
selected one or two languates to use, during the install.
Besides, the DVD isn't limited to 16 languages. As far as I can determine, the 
DVDs have all possible languages on the disk.

There are some users who have more that one user account on the machine, where 
the users have diferent languages.
A friend of mine is norwegian, and have a chinese wife. Having three languages 
(norwegian, english, chinese) make it very easy for both of them to use the 
same machine.
If we start to limit an install to only one possible language, we make it very 
difficult for many users.

Even Microsoft have started including all languages on the same installation 
medium. :-)=

The extra-languages can be installed after the full-installation using urpmi.

urpmi locale-en_GB etc. etc.
