Language packs have urls to zips ... right? Couldn't you script download of lang packs via wget (it can be configured to use proxy) via that script and place them (unzip and mv) in appropriate directories right after install ... running upgrade.php should see new lang packs and install?

@Alfredo
Are you getting any ideas as to solution to your problem?
Don't have an exact answer for ya, but have been looking into things
and suggest you do the same.
Just so I understand, you've already acquired the code for moodle - minus
the language packs. How are you doing that? git?
It's the cli install.php that is your issue .... no lang pack ... However ...
The install.php file has this in first few lines:
define('CLI_SCRIPT', true);
// extra execution prevention - we can not just require config.php here
if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
exit(1);
}
// Force OPcache reset if used, we do not want any stale caches
// when preparing test environment.
if (function_exists('opcache_reset')) {
opcache_reset();
Then it gets into help .. which is worth a read because one switch is:
--lang=CODE
As a matter of fact, using install.php with switches does everything the GUI would do and with no issues when it comes to the initial admin user setup password.
The language pack however has to be pre-installed ... ie folders/files present
due to proxy.
Those could be acquired prior to pulling the trigger on cli install.php me thinks.
While the only reference in cli install.php is a switch, am thinking that if the language packs are in place, install should complete. Folders/files for lang pack already there.
Don't have a proxy set up where I could test, but if I did, think I'd try above.

Intrusion?

my posting asking Alfredo if he was making progress towards a solution
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=404410#p1632565
So if you think language packs install better suited with install_database.php then that's something for @Alredo to consider ... although I'm kinda confused by that ... the default lanaguage pack is en. @Alfredo has said after installation and I assuming using the GUI admin interface, he says language packs desired cannot be acquired due to proxy. The install_database.php script comments:
* This installs Moodle into empty database, config.php must already exist.
Help on it says:
"Advanced command line Moodle database installer.
Please note you must execute this script with the same uid as apache.
Site defaults may be changed via local/defaults.php.
Options:
--lang=CODE Installation and default site language. Default is en.
--adminuser=USERNAME Username for the moodle admin account. Default is admin.
--adminpass=PASSWORD Password for the moodle admin account.
--adminemail=STRING Email address for the moodle admin account.
--agree-license Indicates agreement with software license.
--fullname=STRING Name of the site
--shortname=STRING Name of the site
-h, --help Print out this help
So yes ... apppears to be duplication when it comes to options for lang .... guess @Alfredo could do one more step as opposed to one step.
Still though ... language pack code would have to be acquired prior to use as @Alfredo has said can't reach the packs with proxy to install desired lang pack.
Dunno myself which would be better ... I don't have a proxy setup to tinker with ... just thinking outloud and trying to provide @Alfredo with a way to do what he wants to do.
There is something @Alfredo left out ... web sevice set up on his server ... which could be apache/nginx or a combo of both ... and of course what proxy set up he might have done already with the web service already.
Tangled webs we weave this days!
