Reduce iWeb and Pages disk space utilization
Authored by: dudemac on Feb 06, '06 09:59:32AM

The easiest way to get rid of the bloat is through the "Get info" window. Open the it and goto the languages pane, select all but your default language. Click the remove tab and all the extra files are gone.

I am assuming that delocalizer does essentially the same thing.

Monolingual

I prefer to use Monolingual on a regular base. I remove all languages other than German and English. Never had any problem, Acrobat makes no problems, too. The app is free and even already universal.

Ah, I forgot: Monolingual in its latest release can delete PPC/intel specific resources, too. I have not used it yet, but it's good to know it's there in case in several years I won't need ppc code anymore on my main Mac...

Yes, and if you remove all the Intel binaries from all the iLife & iWork apps, you'll save, IIRC, about another 300MB

Reduce iWeb and Pages disk space utilization

So I did exactly this with iWeb. For some reason now pieces of the templates come up in German (or maybe it is French or Italian; I really do not know). I checked the Info pane and English is the only available language. Has anyone else seen behavior like this?
