The only way to restore it is to re-install OS X. Although I highly recommend you delete Monolingual from your machine, I doubt the reason for the instability was due to removing the PPC architecture. Monolingual has been know to cause problems with certain application software - most notoriously, MS Office.

Also advise removing monolingual.
The programs that monolingual negatively affected on my machine, I was able to uninstall and reinstall only those apps to get them working again.
Don't use MS Office at home, so I don't know if it will have affected the ability to properly uninstall and reinstall it or not.
With the price of hard drives today, if you're concerned about the 2-4 GB of space that can be saved by running such programs, it would be advised to get a larger hard drive instead.
