Are other languages apart from chosen one installed by default?

[user1397]

I'm wondering if other languages are installed by default in ubuntu even after you choose your default language when installing the system; I would think that if other languages were installed, for many people it would just be a waste of hard disk space, as many (if not most) people just use one language for their computers.

i doubt it cuz when you install it says like "removing gnome-base-br .... removing gnome-base-zh" during near the end

like that, name may be different but they must be language packs

That's partly true... most of the time, if a language has variants (think: Spanish, English, Dutch, Portuguese), then all the variants are installed, that can be a pain with English, cuz there really are a lot of variants... You can of course remove them afterwards.
