Public bug reported: I want to turn off the downloading of APT Translation stuff, because, for me, it's just extra noise in `apt-get update` output, which is already rather verbose if you have lots of sources.
I found scattered mentions on the web and in the APT source code about the configuration option "APT::Acquire::Translation". I attempted setting this to "none", and when that did not work, to various other values, including "C", and several foreign locales. At no time did any setting I made cause apt-get to deviate from trying to download "Translation-en_GB" stuff. Furthermore, there's no mention of this option in apt.conf(5) or /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz. ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- APT::Acquire::Translation is underdocumented, and doesn't seem to work, too! https://launchpad.net/bugs/71957 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
