Did you install from the live CD, perhaps?
The only live Linux I ever install from is Knoppix. Far and away my most common install is minimal X via HTTP initialized by Grub Legacy boot of installation linux and initrd. Even when I install minimal server these packages are pre-selected. When I don't install minimal, it is never openSUSE to any of my own systems using Gnome, and I never do anything intentionally that would add support for any language but English.
I ask because the live CD image has a few languages preselected, and it is difficult to remove them. Anyway, what I said is the general rule: some big packages, like libreoffice, mozilla, kde... allow language selection. Most small packages do not. Besides that, when you select a language, you get that language strings for a lot of apps, installed or not. For example, kde3-i18n-es or kde4-l10n-es are like that. I could complain about getting strings for packages I did not install! ;-) On the other hand, gtk2-immoule-amharidc contains only one file, /usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-am-et.so, of only 19648 bytes (I'm looking at the 12.1 version). Not that much. It is not a language string module, it is an input method. My previous explanation may not apply to it. Maybe it is not a hard dependency, probably a recommend. And 20KB is not worth much effort :-) - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
