So, instead of installing localepurge, which takes time to install, and takes up space as an installed app, why not just run in X-term, maybe as root: rm -r /usr/share/locale/am rm -r /usr/share/locale/ang rm -r /usr/share/locale/ar ..... rm -r /usr/share/locale/zh_HK rm -r /usr/share/locale/zh_TW This will leave the English locales on your tablet, so edit it as you see fit. Takes just a couple of seconds to do.
