Thanks for the answer David! The base pack download (method 2) is what I was doing, but then it's missing a few files, like the installer (ubiquity and friends) even though they are listed as translatable packages for the 14.10 release https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/+lang/sv 500 files compared to 460 in the base pack download. For whatever reason (being installer or something else) they are not included in the base pack download I think life would be easier if there was a way to download *all* items corrensponding to the list of translatable items for a distribution as one zip in launchpad. As of now, that use case doesn't seem possible then?
