Description
This happens every website I maintain, and it has been happening ever since I got in the field of web design with wordpress. I'm reporting it because I couldn't find any refference to the issue on the net.
To keep the clutter to a minimum, I regularly add following lines to config.php:
define( 'CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED', true ); define( 'WP_DEFAULT_THEME', 'whatever-the-theme-is' );
WP default themes' (3 twentywhatever themes) translations keep being installed in wp-content/languages/themes when updatig wordpress, no matter what WP version it is updating to, or what the default theme is.
Not a big issue, but still a bug and a nuisance.

Replying to dd32:
WP default themes' (3 twentywhatever themes) translations keep being installed in wp-content/languages/themes when updatig wordpress, no matter what WP version it is updating to, or what the default theme is.
WordPress installs/updates the translations for all installed themes, regardless of what the default theme is.
To clarify, do you have the themes installed on the site?
CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED
should prevent future default themes from being installed, as long as it's been defined correctly in the config file (Before the wp-settings.php line)
No, the themes are not being installed when wordpress is being updated. Only translation files. And to clarify even more, CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED
is line 183, and wp-settings.php line is 209.

Btw, this happens only on wordpress update. Not on theme/plugin/translation update.

After update from 6.2 to 6.2.2 when only one custom theme exists in /wp-content/themes/
in /wp-content/languages/themes/
appeared several default themes translations: Twenty Twenty-One, Twenty Twenty-Two and Twenty Twenty-Three and it turned out that there were already translations for the 4 previous themes.
WordPress installs/updates the translations for all installed themes, regardless of what the default theme is.
To clarify, do you have the themes installed on the site?
CORE_UPGRADE_SKIP_NEW_BUNDLED
