Remove Components: Languages

[dapaulid]

Hey there

What exactly happens when I remove languages from components? Which functionalities are affected?

For one, you will be unable to select and use that language through Control Panel - Regional options. Consequently, in other programs (not sure how it works - i.e. can a program use a code page / language that is not present on system?) you'll be unable to display/type that language's specific characters (they will be displayed either as squares or as characters from your current language set in Regional options).

In any case, don't remove the languages you think there's a slightest chance you'll ever want to use in the future and you'll be fine.

I've never encountered any problems due to removed languages.

What is removed -

* I guess * something in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls

system32\kbd*.dll

probably much more
