+I don't remember if it has been discussed here, but it was discussed a bit on 
+mdv before mga started.  I agree that something should be done about this.
+I've long thought that we should have a means to designate the languages for a 
+system, so that these languages are installed if available in accompanying 
+packages (like firefox/libreoffice/gimp, etc), and other languages are not 
+installed where they are included in a package, as is often the case.
+
+BTW, when I was more limited in disk space, while on mdv, I removed unwanted 
+l10n files, and saved a considerable amount of disk space.
+
+That's among the many improvements I'd like to see in rpmdrake/urpmi.
+Now all I need to do is improve my perl skills, and a little more time ... :)
