This update contains hotfixes for issues that were fixed after the release of SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1. Note The build number of this cumulative update package is 10.50.2822.0. We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.

SQL Server 2008 hotfixes are now multilingual. Therefore, the cumulative update package is not specific to one language and applies to all supported languages.
-
One cumulative update package includes all the component packages. However, the cumulative update package updates only those components that are installed on the system.
