You can bring back the zero byte files weeks later if you insist, but I
wouldn't.
For unofficial repos, 0 bytes file is much less agressive on the server
load than a 404 response (and polluting server stats)...
maybe apt should trigger the Translation_xx downloads only if a single
"Translations" file is not 0 bytes ?
my humble 2 cents
ps:
option: APT::Acquire::Languages "none";
is inefficient , Translation_xx still fetched
option: APT::Acquire::Translation "none";
is efficient only if purging previous
/var/lib/apt/lists/..._i18n_Translation-xx
but still fetching "Translation_en" and warns :
"N: Option 'APT::Acquire::Translation' is deprecated. Please use
'Acquire::Languages' instead, see 'man 5 apt.conf' for details."
