Yes, LO would be around 3GB...
Cool, so if we apply file system compression to the .app bundle it will likely be around 1 GB on
disk, which is only 200-300 MB more than todays .app bundle (that does not have compression
enabled)
As the downside of a larger .app bundle is that small, it seems like a no-brainer to adopt the
standard way to ship localizations with macOS: in the .app bundle
That will be much easier for users, only one thing to install and it will automatically use the
language as specified in the System UI settings
Using the scarce macOS developer resources to hack together an extension system or configuration
directory seems to be wasteful.
That would also not work automatically with the System UI language setting, and if you e.g., store
it in the user directory it will not automatically show up for other users on the machine...
Best,
Eivind
