When I bring up thunderbird as a normal user it lists a large number

I just delete all of the langpack-* files in /usr/lib/firefox*
or /usr/lib64/firefox*
but when I bring up thunderbird as a regular user after removing the
language packs as root they are still present.
I don't use thunderbird, but once I have removed the langpacks from
firefox as described above, they are gone in firefox.
Here is a script I keep in /root/bin/unlang which works just fine for
both thunderbird and firefox. As written, it preserves the langpack-fr
(French) directory. Adjust as you see fit. The only undesired side
effect is that subsequent updates will always require downloading the
complete RPM because the missing files cause the delta RPM rebuild to
fail. (The failover to full download is automatic.)
