Eventually, translations will be getting merged in, but that's the "easy" part.

Yeah, I'm thinking that something like this is probably the best approach to the problem. It shouldn't be that hard to add support for both * yum groupinstall --alloptional foo and * yum groupinstall --requiredonly foo to yum.
