[gentoo-user] Google Chrome going nuts with L10N ?

[Walter Dnes]

  I seem to remember that Google Chrome used to build with all L10N
locales disabled.  But I just ran a pretend emerge and I got...

www-client/google-chrome-120.0.6099.199::gentoo [119.0.6045.199::gentoo] USE="-qt5 -qt6 (-selinux)" L10N="af am ar bg bn ca cs da de el en-GB es es-419 et fa fi fil fr gu he hi hr hu id it ja kn ko lt lv ml mr ms nb nl pl pt-BR pt-PT ro ru sk sl sr sv sw ta te th tr uk ur vi zh-CN zh-TW"

  Is it really necessary, and if not how can I turn it off?

It seems that the use flags default to "on".

/etc/pportage/package.use/l10n
(or some other file in that directory or the file package.use):

www-client/google-chrome L10N: -* en-GB

Here, en-GB is just a random example for a locale which should
be active; you can append more or none.

If you want to avoid similar “problems” with other packages,
you can alternatively set

*/* L10N: -*

and then just specify the locales you want explicitly:

www-client/google-chrome L10N: en-GB

  Thank you.  In package.use I entered...

www-client/google-chrome L10N: -*

...and it did the trick.  Actually, Pale Moon is my "daily driver"
browser.  I use Chrome for Netflix and the occasional braindead
Chrome-reliant website.

There are other ways of viewing movies that don't involve supporting
companies that give you a worsening experience at an increasing price.
