iCleanLanguage 1.4
iCleanLanguage Safely removes unwanted language files
Version 1.4 is now compatible with OS 10.7, Lion! It includes new language file lists and an easier to read language table. Also all Adobe, Microsoft, and Quick time apps are excluded by default to avoid conflicts with their functionality. A serious bug has been fixed causing some language files to be deleted, not intentionally, in rare cases.
Based on Gary Moore's excellent "Localizer" script, iCleanLanguage has one purpose: to remove unwanted language files from your computer. On OSX, these files can take up as much as 4 GB of space and unless you wish to run your Mac in these languages, they are completely unnecessary. iCleanLanguage removes these by scanning for these files and then selectively removing them. You select which languages to keep and also which directories and applications you wish to clean. There is a "search Only" feature that allows you to make a dry run without any files actually being removed.You can also select which languages to save and which applications to skip over.
