Closes #203

I'm not sure we want to go down the road of including support packages for every language family out there. That being said I'm also not sure we don't. The extra build is already a few steps on the road to being a kind of a kitchen sink build. Thoughts folks?

I'm inclined to start with some better documentation about how to create a Dockerfile that adds custom packages and posts it to their own container registry so people can have an image for whatever they want.

Hi !

In the past, I've done some work on the dalibo/pandocker image to support persian, CJK languages and russian.

I think there is real need for that and it would provide a lot of value for people producing documents in non-european languages... I think we're going to see more and more demands like this in the future ( see #176)

I see tow main difficulties to support this:

1- Space. The latex packages and especially the fonts required such as Noto are really heavy. To give an idea : the pandocker:full image that support persian and CJK is about 1.2GB. Add non-latin laguages to pandoc:extra would increase the volume needed for all users while only a fraction of them would actually use it. It would be more reasonable to create a 4th version based on extra and named babel or i18n

2- Tests. When I worked on supporting persian, I was able to generate a document but could not actually if the document was correct or not :) In some cases, I've found myself a bit lost in translation, so to speak :)
