Again, you can't download something from the cloud if you don't have working internet and no computer to download the manual from. 17MB might seem big but there's plenty of storage available on these devices. Besides, it's likely just the pictures that are inflating the PDF size and I believe it's possible to store one copy of the image and link to it multiple times so a multilingual PDF would only be slightly bigger than a single language version.

I'm not sure how you imagine the multilingual manual would be like. I think you might be thinking in terms of multiple languages in a single page. I was thinking more along the lines of an omnibus. You've got an initial screen/TOC listing where you can select the language and you immediately jump to your language's version of the manual.

As I've mentioned, though, an interactive user guide would be much better.
