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

[Nikola Nikolov]

Sorry for bumping that, but does no one have any idea if it's possible to
use the API to download core language packs for multiple languages? If you
look at my previous email you'd see where I looked for any clues about
that, but couldn't find any.

If that's not possible, is there a way to use the WordPress.org API in a
way that would give me the URL's for core language packs, because right now
I'm basically trying 8 different URL's at
svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/( which I don't even know if it's
the right place to look for the language
packs ) in order to find a matching language pack. Actually I'm trying 40
URL's per language - since I have 8 base URL's and then I have 5 language
packs that I'm trying to find( {$locale}.mo, admin-network-{$locale}.mo,
continents-cities-{$locale}.mo, ms-{$locale}.mo, admin-{$locale}.mo ) - and
that is extremely inefficient as you can guess.

Thanks,
Nikola
