Monolingual 1.3.7: Remove Unneeded Language Support Files on Your Mac

Monolingual 1.3.7 is an Open Source Mac OS X utility that gives you the option to remove language files you don't need on your Mac (Panther or Tiger). I heard Scott Bourne rave about it on a MacBreak Weekly podcast a while back. He said, if I recall correctly, that it freed up gigs of space on his Mac. So, I tried it on an iBook G4 with a 30GB hard drive (still running Panther). It freed up maybe 500MB. So, your mileage may vary...

BTW, be careful using this utility. Read through the documentation and FAQ and read the onscreen instructions carefully to make sure you don't delete something you need.
