@gunnar - thanks for your comments Seems a bit half-baked to allow removal of a language that breaks the functionality, one of those 'this is why Linux will never be the desktop' issues in my opinion.
I'd happily check that English is uninstallable at some point in the future if that ever happens. Given that the bug is in the way the software works and enricobe knows now where the bug lies seems pointless in me doing more. I do actually read changelogs of things I 'watch' I'll just add *language* to the list and see if anything turns up in the future. Maybe rather than close it. Re-word the title to 'Stop removal of English from Language Support' and mark it wishlist.
