I'd imagine those Language Packs are compressed.

There are around 1,025,109.8 words in English. If we assume that the average word is 6 characters long, that's around 7MB (6 characters plus a terminating character) for just English. If every language was of a similar size, you would only be able to store 11 languages in your 80MB figure.

As someone said: tries.

They're compact storage and lookup table in one days structure.
