That may be an easy hack, but I think this would also be really time consuming ... :( Would it be possible then to split these by country / language and to provide them with the langpacks?

Or would this be impossible? Well actually there is an easy hack bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70357 which I'm working on (unknowing that this bug existed) since September 2013! This is really a time consuming bug as I touched nearly evry page multiple times (by hand and with my bot) So lengthy easy hacks aren't a problem, I think. Better create a bug and if needed we can split if requested. Thanks for your answer and have a nice evening Thomas.
