Monolingual: Because I only speak one language
I only speak, write and listen to English (well). And it’s certainly the only language that I use on my Mac. So some may ask themselves why they need all these extra languages using a whole load of space on your mac. I am one of these people and the person who created wrote the app I am going to talk about is also.
Enter Monolingual , a small, free app designed to simply do one job, get rid of all those useless language resources. It trudges through your system looking for them and deletes them for you, it’s saved me over a gigabyte!
Did I say thats all it did? I meant that only for effect because it does a couple more handy things. It also deletes foreign keyboard layouts and non essential architectures such as that for the Power PC.
So there you go; monolingual can save you space so you can put more important stuff on there, like those illegal MP3s or just space for the Limewire install - it’s up to you.

I also use french on my mac an have use spanish so I think getting rid of all your lanuages is a good move if all you do is english but how do you get them back if you need them.
