Aha, thanks. I'll try that next time and see what happens.

I realise that but come some point in the future, they might...

I realise that (about the 16 vs 100), plus their l10n process sucks on 
various levels.

And I take it the second bit translates as "there are current technical 
reasons why we bundle it all into one" - or does that mean there were 
technical reasons at some point in history and it just hasn't been 
changed? I don't quite get that. AFAIK LO and Opera are the only 
applications which bundle all the languages. How is it that others 
manage to split them into more manageable chunks?
