Yes, unfortunately the help file size is large and is not
yet bundled help. We are creating an help installer
infrastructure that various other teams we collaborate with
can use. There was a suggestion made during WWDC this year
that we install all language support to a temporary location
and then copy only the appropriate language files to
the install location. This is not a practical solution
for us due to the time taken to install all localizations
is quite long.
