I am an OpenSUSE user, which means that I use zypper as the main package manager. When I install almost anything, I get a package with the same name but with a -lang suffix that is recommended by zypper. However, I want to use english only (which is the default), so I don't want to install every language package available for every package I install.

How can I disable these language package recommendations ?

    @taliezin: you don't get my point. I want recommendations, but not language packages recommendations. Commented Mar 6, 2015 at 11:50

Find all the language packages:

rpmorphan -guess-custom "-lang$"

Delete them:

rpmorphan -guess-custom "-lang$" | xargs zypper rm

Add a lock to all packakes ending on -lang (prevents them from being reinstalled):

zypper al '*-lang'
