Okay, that's what I figured it meant.

If I put LINGUAS="en_US" into make.conf, then the LINGUAS line reads:

LINGUAS="en_US% -af% -ar% -be_BY% -bg% -bn% -bs% -ca% -cs% -cy% -da% -de%
-el% -en% -en_GB% -en_ZA% -es% -et% -fa% -fi% -fr% -gu_IN% -he%

-sv% -sw_TZ% -th% -tn% -tr% -ts% -vi% -xh% -zh_CN% -zh_TW% -zu%"

en_US is put on the front and -en_US disappears from the list.  I didn't
notice it disappearing before...

Any that I specify to be built are in make.conf, but there is nothing in
make.conf that specifies the "-" entries....

Thank you for your reply!
