Ahh, yes. See e.g. koffice-langpack-* in Extras I think. I haven't
looked at the SRPM yet.
NOT COUNTING KDE!! I'm kidding. Maybe that should be "I'm kdeing" ;-)

I thought this was underway in Anaconda, but doesn't even that revolve
around comps?
Dunno. I'm looking.

Agreed there. I think it would be cool if we simply required one extra
file, an XML one based on the DTD you provided. All authors and
translators could update that, and everything needed to press the spec,
OMF, .desktop, etc. would come out of that file at build time.
If you can send me the prototype OMF, et.al., I may find time to
produce some XSL stylesheets to do the necessary transformation from
the funky XML info file into an OMF or a SPEC and be able to eschew
any additions to Fedora Extras.
Cheers
