18 I meant to add that the only Russian language file I pruned by setting -nls is
19 /usr/share/binutils-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.34/locale/ru. Binutils was
20 remerged, so that one should have gone. Everything else is still there:
21
22 # find / -xdev -name ru
23 /usr/share/help/ru
24 /usr/share/man/ru
25 /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/europe/ru
26 /usr/share/kf5/kdoctools/customization/ru
27 /usr/share/kf5/locale/countries/ru
28 /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru
29 /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sun_vndr/ru
30 /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/media/icon-themes/cmd/ru
31 /opt/zoom/timezones/ru
32
33 I assume all those packages ignore language settings. That file /usr/share/
34 help/ru belongs to kdoctools, which has just been remerged with -nls, so it is
35 clearly guilty. Likewise kconfigwidgets and app-editors/joe, which both install
36 /usr/share/man/ru.
37
38 I can't evict espeak because two KDE PIM packages require it.

40 Internationalisation has some way to go yet, it seems - or do I mean
41 localisation?
