What is the best way to add wp language files when deploying? I added a task with wp core language install ... to the finalize-after.yml hook for now. Is it possible to include this as a custom hook from deploy-hooks somehow?

Yeah build_after does sound like a good fit for this :thumbsup:

Thinking about it, the best way might be to have a shared languages folder where the desired languages are only installed at the first install (no need to install them over and over again), maybe there could be a check if a core language file exists) and otherwise only run wp core language update fo…
