ok question about languages.

[dylmyster22]

Okeverywhere i read about people saying that they deleted useless languages from apps in their iDevice. and i have seen people saying in their posts they included them keep their english and japanese .ploj files. I kept english but deleted japanese in some apps. is this a problem? also when i went through and deleted some languages, i only deleted the ones saying the language, if i delete any of the ru.ploj, ar.ploj, etc... will anything bad happen? or all those other ones just abbreviated ones?

[pwntbywombat]

people keep Japanese to keep emoji, it wont hurt to delete it though

[dylmyster22]

oh ok thanks i was getting scared alot when seeing so many people saying that making me think i needed it. but can i still delete all the other .lproj's besides english?

[pwntbywombat]

yeah

You need to keep en.lproj, which is English. Those short names are language codes. Some apps spell out the whole name and some use the codes, but for every long name, there is usually a short name to keep too. I looked them all up to use in my language pack deleting script and this is the list I have:

ar.lproj (Arabic)
cs.lproj (Czech)
da.lproj (Danish)
de.lproj (German)
el.lproj (Greek)
en.lproj (English)
es.lproj (Spanish)
fi.lproj (Finnish)
fr.lproj (French)
he.lproj (Hebrew)
hr.lproj (Croatian)
id.lproj (Indonesian)
it.lproj (Italian)
ja.lproj (Japanese)
ko.lproj (Korean)
ms.lproj (Malay)
nl.lproj (Dutch)
no.lproj (Norwegian)
pl.lproj (Polish)
pt.lproj (Portuguese)
pt_PT.lproj (Portuguese)
ro.lproj (Romanian)
ru.lproj (Russian)
sk.lproj (Slovak)
sv.lproj (Swedish)
th.lproj (Thai)
tr.lproj (Turkish)
uk.lproj (Ukrainian)
zh_CN.lproj (Chinese)
zh_TW.lproj (Chinese)

I have an iPhone 3g 8gb model on firmware 3.1.2 jailbroken. I was in my usual cycle of restoring the phone when I decided to run the following (through puTTY...)
1. First login as root, password is usually alpine, but you may have changed it.
2. type:
cd /Applications
3. type:
for file in `find . -type d -name "*.lproj" -not -iname "en*.lproj" -exec echo {} \; | sed -e 's/\.\///'`; do rm -vr ./$file ; done
4. type:
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app
5. Repeat step 3 then type:
cd /System/Library/PreferenceBundles
6. Repeat step 3 then type:
cd /System/Library/PreferenceBundles/AccountSettings
7. Repeat step 3 then type:
cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
8. Repeat step 3 then type:
cd /System/Library/SystemConfiguration
9. Repeat step 3 then type:
/System/Library/Carrier Bundles

Now of course, I'm not responsible if you ruin your iPhone. I've only tried this on an iPhone 3G 8gb and an iPhone 2g 8gb with success.

I would recommend that you make backups of your files on a computer in case you break something. This post has been put together from work carried out by other most excellent peoples, users like ALL DAY, peteo and others.

Hope that helps someone, it worked fine for me and I had no problems with the date in the calendar not showing and thought it a good idea to share what I did in order to make it work...

Would someone be so kind to post the contents of the en.lproj (English)
i delete mine on accident from the Application/AppStore.app folder

[moon#pie]

Just take a English.lproj file from another app because they are the same. I tried to upload one for you but it was an unsupported file type.

Thanks guys. After some investigating i found that i do not have any en.lproj files. everyone of them say English.lproj so im good.

cheers
