Etoys, too, would benefit from a language-specific bundle. Starting in its default language is quite a bit faster than starting in a different one, because the UI is "prebuilt" and has to be regenerated on startup if the language differs. Also, while currently we only ship English example projects and help guides, translating them is underway (we do have a set of Spanish guides already). The guides currently take 8 MB per language, the example projects about 9 MB. Even a fully translated .mo file is about 450 K. Having multiple languages in one bundle gets big, fast.
