no, it's an implication of the chosen technology. the way GWT split's the client
artifact may have certain drawbacks (deliverable file size is bigger due to the number of
permutations), but it actually increases the performance for each client.
what you are asking for is actually taken care of by the GWT compiler: it split's the
browser/language combinations into reasonable chunks that are used on their own. each
client get's exactly what it needs an nothing more. the large file size doesn't
mean each client needs to download everything of it. the decision what need to be loaded
is done on the fly, client side.
but to be honest: i don't care that much about the download size. what matters more to
me is still the performance and user experience of the actual web application. 10 mb less
or more are ridiculously small compared to what the average internet user consumes every
day.

Is there no alternative for us to do some form of just in time
processing for the languages as the resources are served? We have
complete control of the HTTP server if we needed to insert something
additional there.
Alternatively I do see now why many companies offer different localized
downloads now - as an alternative could we provide alternative downloads
to add support for different languages to your AS installation.
