 Instead of having completely independent builds for WordPress per
 language, I think that WordPress should have a locale setting and then
 download the required translation files for core, themes and plugins from
 GlotPress.

 A feature like this would help users get up-to-date translations for
 everything without having to look for .mo files and manually get them.
 Additionally, it will push plugin and theme authors to using GlotPress, so
 that their translations go live automatically.

 We have the available resources for this task, and if it's accepted, we'll
 be happy to implement the required code on both WordPress core and on
 GlotPress.
