Can you stop name calling?. Lets keep this discussion technical. You 
install of the language packs and find them useful?. Thats not 
particular convincing as a general use case

Yum.

Yum can very well work with offline repositories. see the man page of 
creatrerepo. File a RFE against pirut to support this.

Merely trying to understand *general* use cases. Not personal
