On a workstation install, that directory is 189MB. glibc-common is 43MB, mostly translations.
On my first Fedora install (fairly minimal), /usr/share/locale is 25MB, and /usr/share/i18n is 8MB. This is on a system installed with only English.
/usr/share/doc, however, is 32MB.
"Stripping out" all other languages is, I hope to God, simply not an option.
It's a legitimate option if you do it post-install. Debian, I believe, has a script that strips out unused languages.
Not what I meant... I meant removing them from the installable package set (stripping them out of an install so that the user couldn't get them if he/she tried). Once you have your system installed, by all means remove any/all languages you don't speak or don't want.
