Comment:

 Hello @pbearne, thanks for your patch.

 Putting `wp_download_language_pack()` into `WP_Locale` is interesting but
 that doesn't work pretty well. It doesn't work if `DISALLOW_FILE_MODS` is
 set or a download fails. Doing an external HTTP request for a locale
 switch isn't really performant either.

 I'm going to close this ticket as a wontfix but you should definitely take
 a look at #35585 and #26511.
