 Replying to [comment:6 sayamindu]:
 > Oops - I'm sorry. I confused between /usr/share/locale and
 /usr/share/i18n. We already prune /usr/share/locale in the build process
 (all translations except those mentioned in the ini files are removed). Of
 course, we can remove German, etc from that list as well.

 Okay, will work out which langs use the most disk space/are least likely
 to ship and remove them from langs= in the config.  Thanks!

 > /usr/share/i18n is the directory that stores the locale definition (not
 strings) which can be used to generate the localedata archive and its
 around 9.8 MB in size (it can be compressed to around 3.2 MB if required).

 I see, will consider that later.
