If one wants an Arabic translation, he should search for Arabic translation 
not Arabic localization. Not sure about Spanish though ;)

l10n is not wrong but it's a generic term that == language + calendars + 
collates + ...
If that option is only concerned with language, then nothing more should be 
implied. I believe other l10n features should find it's way on it's own 
modules and there won't be one place where one set all l10n issues.
