I understand your concerns and they are valid; I think the bandwidth can 
be the bigger problem for users. Correctly selecting the default 
language, I believe, is fairly straightforward. There are two problems I 
see, one is available server space for storing the exe's. The second is 
how to make sure the proper files are downloaded and installed. If you 
have a separate installer for each language, someone has to produce each 
installer. Updates and patches would be more difficult to roll out, each 
installer would need updating. If you have separate downloads you now 
need a method to ensure the correct language pack(s) are downloaded, 
similar to a Linux repository. The major issue to me is time, someone 
has to actually do the work and maintain the release(s) or in the case 
of a "Windows repository" set it up and make sure the installer works 
correctly - I suspect it would need revision for this idea.

Also, another issue is the varying computer literacy levels of our 
users. Whatever method is used must not require more than minimal 
knowledge from the user.
