Monolingual

i think it's great. got rid of tons on my powerbook and intel imac. WARNING! Another program that doesn't like being stripped is Missing Sync. It's the only thing I had to reinstall on the powerbook...

It's not that Rosetta *may* "get wonky" - it's that Rosetta WILL stop working COMPLETELY if you run this. Guaranteed. The reason is that it strips out the PPC code from *every* library and framework on the system, and PPC apps have to link against PPC libraries. If the libraries are Intel-only, PPC apps won't link against them, and without being able to link against such crucial libraries and frameworks as libSystem, Cocoa, and Carbon, no PPC apps are going to be able to run at all. So, if you run this app and remove the PPC architectures, you will *completely* lose the ability to run *any* PPC apps in the Rosetta environment.

Bottom line: Don't use this app, as it's way too dangerous.

Just don't bother with this program, especially not if you're running an intel mac, they're too unstable to tinker with.

Does anyone know if removing a language also causes the removal of the relevant spell checker dictionary?

I use English for the OS, but I also need spelling checks in other languages.

Stephen, I meant to post those links, but had to get back to archiving and installing OSX.

#15 or you might want to include those relevant links since you know about them

I was able to fix the issue with Keyboard Layouts by copying the contents of /System/Library/Keyboard Layouts from another Mac.

I wouldn't recommend using this product unless you really really need 2gb of space.

I had problems with it wiping out my Keyboard Layouts, even when I removed somethng I didn't think I would need.

Also, it would probably be best not to use it remove architectures. Rosetta may get wonky if you're running a Macbook Pro.

Scott, you might want to provide relevant links to the Apple discussion forums with your posts on possibly hazardous, unsupported software. Monolingual is a huge mess for those with intel macs.

Shrimp, can I fix Rosetta without formatting my machine?
