Hmm, in that case, one solution could be to use a small intermediate
application.
The application would contain the packages in its Resources folder.
The application would find the appropriate OS language (using the
/var/log/CDIS.custom for instance).
The application would only open the appropriate package.
You can make the user believe this is a real package by using a custom
icon.
This is a similar solution to the ReadMe "text" on the OS Installation
CD.

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.

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 ?
