Hi Martin,

I think I could file a wishlist bug that English locale files
are never deleted. That would IMO be the best solution because
it won't really go against the purpose of the program since the
space taken up by English locale files is so minimal and since
it requires no action on the part of the user.

Thanks,

Morten
