Whoa! hold on! "...it apparently is set up to use en_GB which is part of that package. If you remove the package you "only" get en_US" Are you saying that if I remove this "translations-common" rpm I will end up with that abomination called US English?! (Please say that I am wrong in interpreting what you wrote - please :-( .) No, that's absolutely right :-)
Yesterday I installed RC1 (in vmplayer), build 50, and just now I'm looking at my addons: I have none installed. Corrections: no language installed. I might have at least the Spanish one, but no.
I used the DVD and I installed XFCE. What happened to you, that you came up with all those languages installed I can't understand. Maybe someone using the KDE live CD can verify the same problem?
What you have to do now is disable, an then remove, all those plugins, one by one... which is very tedious but I don't know a method to automate that.
Interestingly, even though I specified I wanted Spanish as an extra language, the translations-common rpm was not installed. I'm forcing it now. [...] Installed, and I still do not see those addons... ah! It is in the languages tab. Right... what a pain. Yes, I can replicate your problem indeed. I disabled them all in a minute. I don't get why you guys have a problem with them being available? They do not cause any harm (I'd be aware of) but makes life a lot easier for some people/configurations.

Well, for one thing it is having 32.6MB of space being taken up by what is not required - except for the one language which is used by the user. When I install openSUSE I am asked which language I want to use. I answer UK English - and that is the only language I expect see on my system, but instead when get 32.6MB of "stuff" installed by default when Firefox is installed by default. And to add 'insult to injury' ( :-) ) I get messages popping up that the Brazilian Portuguese (Hello, Nelson! :-) ) language has an update to be downloaded. Now, I ask you, how many times can the Brazilian Portuguese language change in a month/year? :-) BC -- Using openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 KDE 4.8.4 & kernel 3.4.4.2 on a system with- AMD FX 8-core 3.6/4.2GHz processor 16GB PC14900/1866MHz Quad Channel Corsair "Vengeance" RAM Gigabyte AMD3+ m/board; Gigabyte nVidia GTX550Ti 1GB DDR5 GPU -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
