Somehow, Esperanto now shows up in my Languages. The help file says that there should be a button on the language page to turn on foreign languages which seems to imply that I could also turn them off there. But I can't find any options on the page at all except to choose between English nad Esperanto. When I click on Esperanto everything is shown in that language so I have to assume that I'm wasting space on my PC since I only want English. How can get rid of Esperanto in my language options?

Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.
Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!
Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.
We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.
How do I disable foreign languages?

Hello Zone. So are you referring to the tab "Languages" (next to File and Help)?
Or are you running in Advanced Mode?
Or are you running in Advanced Mode?
No.. at least I don't think we are talking about the same thing. I am talking about the languages that show up when I go to Settings/Languages. My mode is set to "Advanced." Those tabs don't show up if Mode is set to "default."
The help file says the following about language settings:
"You can find the language settings by choosing Languages from the Settings section in the toolbar to the left."
But I don't see any way to remove Esperanto. I was going to attach a screenshot of the Settings/Languages page but it would be so small because of the maximum filesize requiremnts that it wouldn't be readable. Anyway, it lists English and Esperanto on that page but I can't delete Esperanto. I have no idea how it got there unless it defaulted when I loaded up the current version of S&D.

In addition to that (post above) you can see if right-clicking the Esperanto file and click 'Delete/Remove' will remove the file from the tab.
Thanks much, guys! I appreciate the help.
MD-USA: Removing that file did the trick! I should have thought of that. So simple!
Drrag: Unfortunately, you don't have the option to right-click and delete the language file from Settings/Languages. But it made sense to me that you should be able to do it too and that's the first thing I tried.
