I don't know how we could handle this. Only English in the main package 
and all other languages into another kit?

A separate download for each language?

We also have to think what the distributors (like XAMPP or the various 
Linux distros) will do? They will install all languages anyway? Put two 
kits, one containing only English and an additional language pack?

I did not suspect that download size could be an issue nowadays.
