Suggestion: No more language packs for macOS as they are fundamentally broken

It's not *installing* the language pack wherever we want that is the
problem. (That is just a modification to one Apple Script file.) It's
*using* it from there. (All of it. Autotext, dictionaries (that for some
reason are packaged in some form of extension inside the language pack),
help, localisation in the form of .xcd files, other registry entries, and
localisation in the form of .mo files. (Possibly also presets (whatever
they are) and wizards, although those where empty in the couple of language
packs I looked id.)
