How to remove Japanese manpages

[Jeff Sadowski_2]

I have no one at my company that speaks Japanese and even if I do they can read the English manpages or reinstall the Japanese manpages if they need to but for now I would like to remove all the Japanese manpages so that when I do a look for new patches I do not get flooded with a whole bunch of Japanese manpages. How would I go about doing this? I did a "swlist | grep -i japanese | grep man|less" all these packages claim to be Japanese man page patches so I removed them with swremove. I also used the "-l bundle" and "-l product" and "-l fileset" and greped for the same and removed anything refering to Japanese manpages. What am I missing? Do I need Japanese manpages if so why?

1. run "locale" to identify current "LANG" setting

2. edit /etc/rc.config.d/LANG. Comment out

# LANG=jp.xxx
# export LANG

3. The system will take the defaul LANG setting "C"

4. you can also use "export LANG=C" to overwrite LANG setting for your session.

Jeff,
have you checked the /usr/share/man directory, which may have links to the ja_JP directories left.
You don't "need" any manpages, especially if not in your language.

Ok, I got rid of them. this is how:
On the patches that where required for them I looked at the Filesets section and noted all the filesets for the Japanese manpages. and removed them. This took a little work but I no longer have to worry about a long list of useless patches.
