有没有办法我可以摆脱翻译的东西？ 我厌倦了它导致大量仓库检查，而不是检查更少的仓库（69个实际仓库对比169次检查）

- Thomas Ward

Answer 1

要禁用下载翻译，请创建一个名为/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99translations的文件，并将以下内容放入其中：

Acquire::Languages "none";

您可能还需要删除/var/lib/apt/lists/目录下的现有翻译文件。

更多信息请参阅apt.conf（5）的man页面。

- ajmitch

那个方法可以获取大部分项目，但仍然显示带有TranslationIndex的条目。你有什么办法可以移除它们吗？ - Thomas Ward

这看起来是 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=624218，应该在11.10版本的apt中修复了。 - ajmitch

有没有它的任何后续版本？ - Thomas Ward

完美……那些翻译内容在apt-get update中不再显示了。 - Rakib

这是针对apt_preferences还是apt.conf？看起来这个答案有点混乱。 - Jayen

@Jayen，如果你读第一行的话，它说要创建一个名为/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99translations的文件，然后在该文件中包含代码，然后运行apt-get update命令。apt_preferences的manpage条目中详细说明了语法的数据。 - Thomas Ward

Answer 2

只是为了记录一下（因为有些人可能会在这个问题上绊倒..）上面的99Translations文件会导致apt出错 - 删除"Packages: *"这一行 - 只需要删除这一行就足够了。

Acquire::Languages "none";

此外，apt仍将检索适用于您的区域/语言的文件。

- Erik

如果你正在使用Ubuntu 12.x，这就是你想要禁用apt从获取软件包翻译的方法。 - Flint

在此之后，不要忘记执行sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/*Translation*命令，以删除所有现有的翻译索引文件。 - Flint

Answer 3

启用流水线处理以批量处理这些请求，速度会快得多：

Acquire::http { Pipeline-Depth "200"; }

但根据我的经验，这可能导致下载中断；HTTP错误代码似乎会级联或其他什么。如果你正在与apt-cacher-ng通信（无论是镜像模式还是代理模式），那应该足够安全。否则，如果你的镜像出现问题，要准备好禁用它。

我建议不要将语言设置为“none”，因为这会破坏“apt-cache search”（none意味着没有，而有用的搜索至少需要一个语言的描述）。基于区域设置的默认值包含了不必要的地区变体，但可以考虑类似这样的设置：

Acquire::Languages { "fr"; "en"; };

合理。

- Gabriel

---

对我来说，这不会破坏 apt-cache search (Ubuntu 13.10)。 - blueyed

这在Ubuntu 18.04仍然有效吗？ - rubo77

Answer 4

我不想下载德语APT翻译文件。所以，作为一种妥协，我在一个新的/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99translations文件中明确设置了首先是英语，然后是无翻译。

Acquire::Languages { "en"; "none"; };

我已通过rm -v /var/lib/apt/lists/*i18n_Translation-de*删除了所有现有的德语翻译文件。

之前：

root# apt-config dump | grep Languages
Acquire::Languages "";
Acquire::Languages:: "de_DE";
Acquire::Languages:: "de";
Acquire::Languages:: "en";
Acquire::Languages:: "none";

之后：

root# apt-config dump | grep Languages
Acquire::Languages "";
Acquire::Languages:: "en";
Acquire::Languages:: "none";

如果存在具有不同$LANGUAGE设置的多个用户，则推荐的设置应为（按顺序：1. 环境 2. 英语 3. 无）。

Acquire::Languages { "environment"; "en"; "none"; };

据我所见，这是默认设置（请参见上面“Before:”部分的输出）。

Answer 5

在我寻找解决方案的过程中，我发现了这个。我刚刚安装了Debian testing。按照上面建议的方法，执行以下命令可以解决问题：

sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/*

- Chris

在Natty系统上进行了测试。这并没有解决Natty中的问题。然而，自从我将主要系统升级到Precise后，我就没有遇到这个问题了 :P - Thomas Ward

Answer 6

去“语言支持”然后点击“安装/移除语言…”，然后取消勾选你不想要的语言。

如果你移除了所有语言，系统将默认为通用英语。请注意，en-US 包被视为单独的语言，因此你必须取消勾选英语才能卸载其包。

这仅适用于图形用户界面(GUI)。这也不能阻止apt-get或aptitude在那些较旧的版本中收集翻译内容。 - Thomas Ward
