Hi
It can be good that the language add-on could install all the languages for all the plugins using Weblate.
Maybe the add-on could detect the plugins installed on Kodi ?

There is no "one" language add-on. We've created separate language add-ons so that changes and updates can done more swiftly, and also to avoid one big blob as a total memory hog.
I'm not sure how a language detection add-on would work better than the current manual user language selection.

It's not my question
It can be good if the language (french for exemple) of all add-on are in the kodi langage add-on. For now, it's only for the core.
Only one language but all language files dedicaced for its proper add-on.

For now, a developer need to update its plugin to update the language of its plugin. Right !
It's for this reason, I think that a plugin needs to do that for all plugin, not only for the core of kodi.

So you want.the Kodi core language add-ons to have every possible translation every addon may use?

I'm not exactly sure what the question is.
If you want the Kodi language addons to include all translations from all addons that's simply not possible due to the amount of strings and work it would require.
That would mean adding more than 17.000 strings (now they are 4200+ strings) to each Kodi language addon, resulting in huge files.

The other problem is that not every official Kodi add-on is 100% translated (although French is one of the better maintained languages), so on some occasions there will be an English fallback. For 3rd party add-ons, we have no control over any of the translations. Official add-ons that do have translations via Weblate should be updated (semi?) automatically. I'm not completely familiar with the latest developments on that.
But again, as already has been outlined, combining all add-on translations for 1 language into 1 add-on, zipped or otherwise, is currently not doable in our Kodi eco-system. It is what it is.
