With the "koha-i18n" idea, it would be a dependency of koha-common/koha-full,
so in theory it would be the exact same experience as now.

However, people could choose to install koha-core instead, and then not install
"koha-i18n" if they're English-only. (This also opens up room for Jonathan's
language pack idea.) It would be for advanced installations.

Regarding translated Koha, remember too that most libraries will use a maximum
of what... 5 translations (I think that our anecdotal max is 3-4)? The vast
majority of PO files will never ever be used by any installed Koha. 

Most software I use on a daily basis allows you to only locally install the
languages you use. I tend to use English, French, Chinese, and Korean on my
phone for instance (where I had to install French/Chinese/Korean manually). I
have no need of the vast majority of other languages.
