Perhaps it doesn't really take up all that much space but as I sit here waiting for my OS to update to Tiger and watch this progress I have to wonder....

do I really need support for Japaneese, Norwegian, German, Brizilian portuguese...and printer drivers for every major company?

Is there anyway to get rid of this stuff to gain some space back on my drive?

ah....now simplified Chinese....oh...traditional now....just what I needed.

If you installed them. You can use the DeLocalizerapplication to remove them. I know this application work under jaguar and panther. I am not sure about tiger. It can free up to a much as 800mb in my case.

I tend to run it after I install any software on my system, along with repair permissions.
