Comment (by pbearne):

 @ocean90 I was just reading the trac

 I hear you about `DISALLOW_FILE_MODS` and I wonder if we can still build
 in some effort to fetch the files and handle the fail.

 What happens when the patch in #26511 switches and the language is not
 installed?

 Yes I know is not performant but it only every happens once.

 I am not sure want we should end up with. But been able to switch the
 Locale is useful what you take a patch without the download that just
 switches the language? maybe with a "do it wrong error" if the language is
 missing?

 What to do yu feel is the right way do this?

 Paul
