I have had arguments in my LUG with people who think Ubuntu should not
ship any translations because they're just a waste of disk space and
that C(ASCII) is the One True Value for $LANG, Unicode and UTF-8 are

As someone who loves studying languages, it makes me want to slap them
with a fish over TCP/IP.
