[wp-hackers] How to download multiple language packs via the API

[Andrew Nacin]

Hi Nikola,

Language packs only support a limited number of plugins and themes (more
happening here soon, though), but yes, these filters are in place. See
the plugins_update_check_locales and themes_update_check_locales filters in
wp-includes/update.php.
