drush -l {site-url} en languageicons i18n i18n_menu i18n_node i18n_string i18n_translation i18n_variable l10n_update

~~~

Notes on automatic installation of translations:

~~~

The translations can be named as $langcode.po or with names ending with $langcode.po.

Translations are only automatically imported during the installation of the module for

all the languages already set up on the site,

see https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!locale.inc/function/locale_batch_by_component/8.x for details.

If the module is already enabled you need to disable and re-enable it. Alternatively you can use the following drush command:

drush php-eval "locale_system_update(array('yourmodule_name'));drush_backend_batch_process();"
