This weighs in at 127M! I feel we need to have the discussion about language packs at this point, because effectively all the individual platform snaps would need that. Imagine having Qt, Qt 5.7, KDE and GTK+ with each of them containing this snap. That would defeat the point of saving space.

I agree. Note that this is only a (hopefully) temporary workaround to bug #1576282. This is not really about language packs, it’s about the lack of support for locales definitions in the core image. So really, this is a bug that needs to be fixed in snapd.

Let's get this in as per the verdict of the discussion: the increase in size is negligible and so is the benefit of a separate language pack for that reason.
