I meant to add that the only Russian language file I pruned by setting -nls is /usr/share/binutils-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.34/locale/ru. Binutils was remerged, so that one should have gone. Everything else is still there: # find / -xdev -name ru /usr/share/help/ru /usr/share/man/ru /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/europe/ru /usr/share/kf5/kdoctools/customization/ru /usr/share/kf5/locale/countries/ru /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sun_vndr/ru /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/media/icon-themes/cmd/ru /opt/zoom/timezones/ru I assume all those packages ignore language settings. That file /usr/share/ help/ru belongs to kdoctools, which has just been remerged with -nls, so it is clearly guilty. Likewise kconfigwidgets and app-editors/joe, which both install /usr/share/man/ru. I can't evict espeak because two KDE PIM packages require it. Internationalisation has some way to go yet, it seems - or do I mean localisation? -- Regards, Peter.
