4.4.3. Automatic installation of language packs
A number of large suite-type packages, such as
OpenOffice.org,
Eclipse, and
KDE, package their translated content separately as
langpacks due to size issues. Now with the
langpack plugin, when
yum detects that a langpack is needed and available for a package the user requests,
yum automatically downloads and installs the langpack as well. The user no longer needs to specifically request installation of language support for these types of suites. In the future it will be possible to extend this support further throughout the distribution. Refer to
