Sure, it would be nice to have more visibility into what installer does and what various settings language selection affects. As well as more documentation on what various zypper options actually do :)
Indeed, as several long-time users have confessed in this thread that that they'd never heard about the aloc/lloc/rloc commands before (neither did I). Side note - I don't see much value in openSUSE's all-or-nothing approach to language support. It's interesting to see that zypper seems to have a concept of "requesting" locales. But installing any locale other than the default means installing -lang packages with support for all languages supported by the package, while the average user will need no more than one language besides English. Are there any packages that actually provide language support split by language? (I don't see any). Is there tooling support for creating such split packages? Are there plans to introduce such support? Regards, Martin
