Stupid question of the day:
Why not just installing all the languages?
Mac OS X is a multi-language OS. This seems to make sense to install
all available localizations. Are the PDFs that big?

Hi:
I have a Metapackage that installs help PDF's for various language.
Each
package inside the Metapackage contains user help for a specific
language.
With 10.3, my Metapackage has to currently launch each embedded
package to
determine if that package has to install. This is since there is no
specific
way to launch just the appropriate language package from the
metapackage in
10.3 that I am aware of. A script in each package determines if the
language
it is supposed to install is the OS language and either proceeds/stops
it's
install if not.
I am planning on using a distribution script on 10.4 to launch just the
require language package and install it's contents. This should
decrease the
install time since I am now launching just 1 package.
Queries:
========
1. How can I find the current OS language from within the distribution
script ?
2. In 10.3, is there any other way for a metapackage to determine which
package to launch based on the current OS language ?
