DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
I've used Monolingual, but it fails to remove many German/Japanese/French and some other .lproj files. Ran it several times. Was informed that DeLocalizer might get the rest, but it's no longer available on the developer's website.
Thanks.

Re: DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
Yes bombich.com does not support delocalizer anymore. Once you download it under their site it will not sun properly. Most delocalizer is under their site but i found a site that might help you in your problem.
Here is the site, just download it and inform me if it works.

Re: DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
Thanks for your help, but clicking on the link doesn't get me anything but other links that eventually take me to Bombich's site where it says DeLocalizer is no longer available.
I'm on an iMac btw - not sure if that should make a difference.....and - think it would be wise to remove my remaining foreign language .lproj files via EasyFinder? It's an app that lists the full spectrum of anything put in search box. I'm stumped as to why Monoligual refuses to remove them.

I'll check more sites later to solve your problem. For now, do you have any problems regarding application?
Kindly check this post later and i will post what i can do to solve your problem. I will give it my full attention. Thank you for supporting oldapps.

Re: DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
i have this file from the net. Do you also want to remove PPC aside from all non english language? Check this application and download it and tell me as soon as you've tried it if it works. Thank you and good day.

Re: DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
From what I've read on Mac specific sites, removing PPC and any other items except language files can mess up the OS. Would like to play it safe for now at least and only remove the remaining language files...though I honestly don't fully understand the need for the several PPCs installed on my Intel iMac.
Thanks for your help with this.
Re: DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
btw- not sure what you mean 'problem with application'. referring to monolingual? installed apple apps?

i don't know if this will help. I have seen this one in one of the blogs in other forums and they post somethings like this:
09 Mar 09 Remove Unneeded Languages in Mac OS X
I ran into this little tip today on Command-Line-Fu. It automagically finds and deletes all non-english language sets installed on your machine. This is, of course, a Mac OS X tip so you wont get very far running it on your Linux machine. I have two OS X desktops at home so I found it applicable. I know there are quite a few of you closet OS X users out there as well. We’ll just let this one be our little secret.sudo find / -iname "*.lproj” -and ! -iname “en*” -print0 | tee /dev/stderr | xargs -0 rm -rfvCan anyone suggest making this command any more efficient? Just looking at it (without testing) I may have tried something like this:
sudo find / -iname "*.lproj" -and ! -iname "en*" -exec rm -rf {} \;note: replace the “en*” with the language you want to keep if other than english. Also replace -exec with -ok if you want to manually OK the deletion of any/all files found.
Tell me if this will work okay. thank you and i hope this will solve your problem.

Re: DeLocalizer would be nice to have.
Thanks very much for taking the time to look further into this and relaying the information above. I'm comfortable running commands in Terminal, but I have a concern about both those commands. There are several English language files (eg:Australian/Canadian....etc) and those should not be removed either - so I've read on (mostly unhelpful) Mac sites, except in unanimously cautioning against removing anything PPC, esp architectures.
Comment please...and thank you.
Also, I use EasyFinder, which is very thorough. I wonder if I could safely use EF to remove the remaining foreign language files safely? Running it before and then after using Monolingual revealed the removal of most .lproj files, but it does show a few thousand left (German/French/Japanese).
Comment please...and thank you.
Again, I'm really very grateful for your input and interest in helping me out - very grateful.
