Ojo, estoy revisando el Monolingual, y no borres los archivos en idioma inglés, ninguno. Ni la arquitectura Intel 32bits que aparece marcada.
Monolingual
A tool for removing unneeded language localization files

1) Why:
I don't know about you, but I use my computer in only one (human) language — English. And I'm willing to bet that you do too, albeit perhaps not English. So why do you have 160 - 200 MB of localization files for the OS X operating system filling up your hard drive?
Enter Monolingual — a handy utility for reclaiming your space for more useful things… like international mp3 files, email or whatever you like.
2) How:
To use Monolingual, you need to be an administrative user.
When Monolingual starts, you will be asked to choose the languages you wish to remove:
Once you have selected the ones you wish to delete, press the "Remove" button.
Unless you are logged in as "root", you will be asked to enter your administrator password.
You will then receive a warning to make sure you REALLY WANT TO DELETE the localizations files. Once you remove them, the only way to get them back is to reinstall Mac OS X.
That's it; pretty easy, huh?
3) FAQ
Q. Monolingual made my OS X installation unusable.
A. Chances are that you have accidently removed the English language files. Some language packs are only a subset of other language packs (for example "U.S. English" is a subset of "English"), so you will have an incomplete OS X installation if you remove "English" but not "U.S. English". In general, you should never remove the English language files unless you know what you are doing.
Q. Should I remove the non-Intel architectures on my Intel based Mac?
A. You can use Monolingual to remove non-Intel architectures for your installed applications (even if some of the applications are PowerPC-only; Monolingual is smart enough not to remove PPC forks if those are the only ones in the universal binary). However, you should not strip the System frameworks if you want to use Rosetta. Rosetta needs the PowerPC code for all frameworks used by the emulated application and if it can't find it, you may see messages such as the following in the console:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa:
mach-o, but wrong architecture
Q. My keyboard appears not to be working after using Monolingual.
A. Most likely, you deleted the keyboard layout for your default input language. For English, German, etc. (which are all roman languages) this is the Roman keyboard layout. You can restore the layout by copying it from another Mac to the correct location.
Q. Monolingual doesn't remember my preferences of which languages to remove.
A. Monolingual by default removes those languages that are not listed in System Preferences / International / Languages.
Q. What does this cost?
A. NOTHING. Monolingual is freeware. If you like this program and want to support its
development, you can donate a small amount via the donation page.
Q. My Adobe applications want to be reinstalled after running Monolingual.
A. Adobe's newer applications have a self-heal feature which checks for the existence of certain files and refuses to launch the application if one of those files is missing. This feature does not distinguish between files that are critical components of the program and those files which are not needed, e.g. localization files. Therefore, you should exclude Adobe's from being processed by Monolingual. Open Monolingual's preferences window, add "/Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional" (for example) and deselect the checkbox next to the item.
