Is it possible to completely remove the alternate languages function?

I want the site to appear purely in English and will not be using any alternate languages, and wondered how I can delete all instances of the alternate options?

Any help appreciated.

Assuming you are using a standard design, do the following:

- Determine which column the language box is in. Open that file - either includes/column_left (or right).php. Remove the line that has languages.php in it (there will only be one).

- Go to admin->Localization->Languages and remove all languages except for enlish.

- Go to includes/languages/ and remove all directories and files, excpet for the enlish ones. It's not necessary, but you should do the same for admin/includes/languages just to remove the unneccessary files.

Thanks for the reply - exactly what I was after. Quite a simple solution but I guess I just needed someone else to say it. Thanks again. :)
