Simply define the language you want to keep. English as fundamental requirement will be kept also. All other language files and folders of inc and lib directory will be deleted.
An input control provide you the possibility to specify the languages which should be kept on your system. Therefore you should insert the reletade ISO-Code like “en” for English and “de” for German. English will be kept in anycase due to it is basic requirement and fall back if no language file for a specific language is available. Please separate the ISO-codes by comma if you want to keep multiple languages.
If you select the option “simulate only” nothing else than the language folders will be listed. This control is checked by default. If you de-selct it the files within these folders and the folders themselves will be deleted.
Please be aware that there is no undo feature and the languages, which you have deleted once, cannot be braught back by a single click(you have to reinstall the language packages for each plugin, template, etc.
