Downloading can be done pre-build [useful for an off-line build], or during the build.

i18n support [locale and html/help docs] in the packages is restricted to whatever is selected in the ./BUILD-TDE.sh 'Select Additional Languages' screen and, of that, to whatever is available in any individual package source.
Additionally for the development builds, translations for the .desktop files are determined from the LINGUAS variable which is set in this build shell to the additional languages selected.
There is an option in tde-i18n.SlackBuild to include a user created language specific patch file in the build.
It needs to be named *tde-i18n-{lang}-patch* and will then automatically be included for the build for that language.
Because of its position in the Slackbuild and the patch -p0 option, the path to the patched file must start with 'tde-i18n-{lang}' - see tde-i18n-en_GB-patch for an example.

The individual TDE apps can be cloned from Trinity git, so the build is set up to do that - except for individual language packs of tde-i18n. The whole tde-i18n download is ~1x10^6 bytes, so to reduce that, wget is used to download individual tde-i18n-$lang packs as they are not git repositories.
