Of course not. It just came up because during the last weeks lots of German translations have been submitted to CTAN.

I'll see what I can do. I think it should be possible if texdoc did the equivalent of "texdoc X-Y" before "texdoc X", where X is the package and Y the labguage, or if the scoring system could be exploited ("adjscore(X) X-Y = +20 if Y matches the current language").
