    Description

      tsala and me are experiencing this pretty frequently on Moodle community sites that have multiple language packs installed. Installing multiple language packs can take significant amount of time and lead to server timeouts.

      I am going to improve the language packs installation tool so that it installs and updates language packs asynchronously in the background.
