Comment:
I'm inclined to say that this is out of scope for the first iteration of
the auto-update UI, and possibly even plugin territory.
There is currently no UI for a user to enable/disable language pack
updates. They are applied automatically when present at the same time as
an update to the plugin/theme that they belong to is performed, but I do
not believe that language pack updates are automatically installed
otherwise (unless a filter is used to enable this behavior).
While this could be helpful for some, I think for the majority of users
will not need to know that the language packs updated with plugins and
themes. It should just work (and it does with a very high success rate),
and it's in the user's best interest that they are installed at the same
time as plugin and theme updates.
If core did add support for this, I would say including this information
in the emails should be off by default. It also introduces a new scenario
where only language packs are updated.
I'll leave this open for more feedback, but I think a `maybelater`
resolution is appropriate.
