How to: Free up Disk Space on your Mac by removing retarded non-English languages with Monolingual

As a recent Mac convert, I’ve been all about optimizing my sexy 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo Macbook into a machine of pure molten productivity. I’ve been doing a good job at it too if I do say so myself. (In fact my work productivity exhibited a marked improvement since I got my Mac. For instance, I now only spend 3 hours at work making personal phone calls and dicking around internet forums from my usual 5.Also, I now only steal an average of 2 reams of bond paper a month from my usual 5)

Anyway, my biggest gripe with my Macbook is its limited hard disk space. Now, for most people, 80GB of disk space is more than enough but if you’re anything like me, you’d have gigabytes and gigabytes worth of bestiality, bondage and clown porn so 80GB would be nowhere enough. I stumbled upon a nifty little app called Monolingual which strips out language localizations you never use on your Mac.

You see, Apple is very considerations in installing language localization packs for a LOT of languages. This way, whether you work in English, German or Afrikaans, you can use your machine.

However, I do not work in Afrikaans so this particular localization is pretty useless to me.And face it, chances are you’re not going to learn any new languages in the near future (the last time I actually tried to learn a new language was 2 years ago. I tried to learn French to impress ladies–you know so I could say to them “Listen to the elegant language I speak, look at how cultured I am. I belong to a rich country like Monaco while you, obviously, belong in the slums of Tondo. Come now, make haste, suck my bird.”) let alone be fluent enough in them to want a localization pack for it on your computer.

The interface is pretty straight-forward to, just check the retarded languages you want to remove from your system and click the “remove” button and you’re done. When I ran monolingual on my machine, I ended up freeing up 125MB of hard disk space–space which would be put to better use by downloading more interracial porn for my collection.
