[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 431517, member: 3889"] There are at least a couple of apps to remove gigabytes of languages in the OS that you don't use, the free Monolingual being one of them. But if you use it, don't remove any alternatives of any language you'd want to keep: Don't delete British, Australian and/or Canadian English, for example. TrimTheFat is free, as well. It yanks PowerPC code from apps if the machine is an Intel, and Intel coding if the machine is a PowerPC. I think it comes with a warning that a few apps might not work properly after the extra coding is pulled, but they are few and far between. It would be only a minor annoyance, anyway, because the app could be loaded again. If you use TrimTheFat, set the preferences first to delete the unneeded version of any app, not separate the two. If you don't, you'll end up with duplicate apps, with one of each having the wrong code and being completely useless. [/QUOTE]
