This already happens based on the configured languages.

The problem with force installing activity translations into the
"regular place" like this is that they'll get blown away on activity
update.

If glibc doesn't know about them then you'll have to add all the
locale data as well. I suspect that is also a prerequisite for adding
a language to Pootle.

You could look at the code used to generate language packs and rework
that into a more generic archive which could be fed to
olpc-os-builder.
