I noticed while updating to Gnome 2.16 today that gnome2-user-docs |
| 2 |
took a long time (38 min +), and most of that time was spend on |
| 3 |
versions of the documents in languages I don't speak. After trying a |
| 4 |
few things, I found that disabling the nls use flag in scrollkeeper |
| 5 |
reduced the gnome2-user-docs compile down to under a minute. |

It got me thinking...I speak only English, my fiancee speaks English |
| 8 |
(well, and some French, but she doesn't need our computer to), so I |
| 9 |
thought, hm, is nls support needed *anywhere?* |
| 10 |
So I disabled the use flag globally to test, and discovered probably |
| 11 |
30 packages that want to be rebuilt, from glibc to vim to coreutils to |
| 12 |
audacious. |

If I only need a monoglot computer, would I break anything by |
| 15 |
disabling nls support? |
