KELLVIN  I incidentally deleted the english(u.s) yesterday ,and now I can't type anymore, keyboard disabled. anyway I can go through it?

YUZZ  Very easy to use application, but be careful: know what you are doing or you are in for a lot of trouble! If used correctly, you'll save a couple at least of hundred megabytes of disk space. For me it cleaned up +2GB of space by deleting unnessesary language files!

LSTERN1  I have an 80GB macbook. I ran this program to to free up some space and saved 3.5GB of space! Who knew?

I am not computer savvy but this app. was easy to DL and use. Thanks!

FROSTY  This program will break your copy of MS Office 2008. After you remove the various language packages, it works fine, however, you will not be able to install an MS Office updates thereafter as the installer likes to have all the language packages there. Presumably it installs updates to the various language packages as well, and when it can't find them it pukes out.

I have tried to 'fix' the updaters by following advice from various sites that detail how to override the 'check' so that you can install the updates anyway, however, the result was that MS Word crashes on launch now.

So, use with caution.

OWLY  Excellent piece of software. I just saved 5.3 GB of space (from a total used space of 43 GB) by running this program. I almost bought Xslimmer but I'm glad I found this software first! Thanks so much!

HANDYMAC  One change between v.1.3.7 and 1.3.9 (I haven't seen 1.3.8) is that the Preferences window in 1.3.7 listed only "Directories which contain language files" with the option to uncheck any of them; while v.1.3.9's Preferences also lists directories for Architectures, with System unchecked by default. Thus if v.1.3.9 is run without changing the default settings, it WILL NOT remove PPC architectures from a Universal System on an Intel Mac, which addresses the complaint in recent posts.

As a Mac support tech I set up a lot of older Macs, and find Monolingual very useful for stripping out unneeded materials on smaller hard disks. It may not be for use by rank amateurs, but the ReadMe does cover all the necessary points, and it's not the developer's fault if people don't read it -- or run the utility when they really don't know what they're doing.

CPRAGMAN, the release notes are in the ReadMe.

TRAY STEEL  If you want to remove support for all other languages accept English then just use the following command in the Terminal. You will need to supply admin password.

sudo find / -not -name English.lproj -name "*.lproj" -exec rm -r {} \;  
(Version 1.3.9)

CPRAGMAN  so what changed with this version? There's no release notes.  
(Version 1.3.9)

BIGDAVE56  Firstly, it isn't Monolingual's fault if the user doesn't read the readme file. Agree about the default setting suggestions though.

But architectures aren't the real hogs- language support is. So the only architecture I remove is G3. (I am pretty sure I won't be buying a G3 machine.) The app tells you what architecture your machine has.

On one pass, Monolingual removed one point nine GIGS. Just ran it again after the latest round of Apple updates- space reclaimed 487 MEGS, the equivalent of a complete Microsoft Orifice installation.

I uncheck all versions of English, and Spanish, and remove everything else.

If you have an older Mac with a smaller HD, this app is a must for you. Cleaning out your printers and running this app may save you 3-4GB. If you don't use GarbageBand, then run cleanapp or appzapper, several more gigs for something useful.

No problems with breaking Apple Mail or any other apps here on my G4; however, as usual, YMMV.

JOHN SAWYER CJS  Wow. I haven't used Monolingual for a couple years, but I see that even the latest version, 1.3.8, still has as its defaults, settings that will cause many of the problems that people have been complaining about for years--deleting architectures that are actually needed, etc.

Monolingual's readme file does say "you should not strip the System frameworks if you want to use Rosetta", but I can tell many people don't read the readme file. Even so, Monolingual's defaults shouldn't be set to delete things that the readme file says you shouldn't delete, as if the developer is saying "do my work for me, and change the settings to what they should be". A minor quibble is that I don't understand why the developer switches to using the term "System frameworks" in this part of the readme, about not removing architectures, since some users who don't know the terms, won't automatically know the developer is using somewhat synonymous terms.

I guess the developer knows what he's doing when he runs this app himself, so he assumes his knowledge must be being telepathically transmitted to anyone else who uses it.
