Someone calculated 50 mega when all message catalogs will be translated.

This is why I consider Ian's implementation of partial installation
*really* important. It will permit to install from each package only the
catalogs and documents for the selected languages whose wg15 packages
are installed.
To complete the wheel, we will need an affordable (and simple) method to
force all packages to add other catalogs and docs when a new language
will be selected by installing its wg15 package, maybe by
reinstallation.
