Hi Matthias,

If I recall, each language is a separate build, therefore, adding a zipping
step in the makefile would create individual packages for each one of them.

Let me confirm if the languages output share the screenshots or not. If
that is the case, then it might be easier (even smaller) to zip the full
content of what we have in the site.
