Hello William,
thanks for your reply.

This might help, if pertinent to your question: Have you tried localepurge? You can choose more precise language settings, and discard others that don't apply. (I count 15 choices under "de" for German, for example, 35 under "en" for English.) Most users will only want one or two items, such as "en" and "en-us-utf8".
I assume that localepurge would also affect TDE, even though it is not TDE-specific software. Install that package, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure localepurge, and you will get a list of locales.
No, my question wasn't about purging language files I don't use. That's about saving disk space automatically at installation. FIW, quite a while ago I checked out localpurge to purge the many TDE language files I never need, but you would have to configure the paths of those manually etc. which I didn't try.
Otherwise, I would say TCC, etc., as you have already tried.
Yep.
Does this concern the problem from an earlier thread, about logging in using non-English characters (e.g., an umlaut), or is it a separate issue?
I dunno. Which thread?
Kind regards, Stefan
