Uninstalling non-English lproj resources: a follow-up

Uninstalling non-English lproj resources: a follow-up

CNET staff
Regarding yesterday's item on Uninstalling non-English lprog items:

Uninstall warning David Trevas warns that it may delete more than you intend: "Rather than use the Terminal commands, I decided to Trash non-English resources one language at a time. After deleting French, German, Italian, Swedish, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish, I checked how many .lproj's were left that weren't English.lproj. There were quite a few! The Epson Stylus Color drivers use the abbreviation en_US and Applet Launcher uses en. These will be wiped out by the one-shot approach! Also British and Australian English speakers will lose their lproj's in the Application Services and Carbon frameworks."

Using OS 9 Matt Neuburg notes that you can also delete lproj files, perhaps more easily, via OS 9, where they are all visible. Simply collect them via Sherlock and trash them.
