Manage all locale-related packages (GUI)

Hi all!

Please, take a look at this script. Download it, put somewhere on your disk, make it executable, and run it.

Here you can select which of locale-related packages you want to see in your system (mainly they are program translations).

I think this GUI is more handy than package manager, because this GUI contains limited subset of packages, and it can hide packages that you don't need (little example, if you have no Qt (or Thunderbird, Firefox, etc.) installed, then you don't need translations for it).

Later I want to implement a pair of ideas here.

[*]Suggestions based on your current locale. Maybe it will be like a "lamp bulb" near packages name. Number of packages is relatively big, and special marks for your current locale will be not bad.

[*]Calculations for traffic you need to download selected packages, and calculations for hard disk space (like: you deleted 3 unwanted packages and free up 1Mo of HD space.)

Any comments and suggestions are welcomed!

Hi kultex,

Oh, thanks! It's not so important. Just I need to test my script more.

And I plan to rework and improve locale related dialogues to make them more friendly. Work in progress.

Re: Manage all locale-related packages (GUI)

Tried it out, and it seems to work as intended. Great job!

One thing though, could you create locales for this script as well? It would be neat if that was a possibility.
