Debian / Ubuntu 已经被翻译成许多语言。
尽管这是一个优点，但如果不进行任何设置，会导致获取所有翻译信息的更新时间变长，这是一个缺点。

将设置为仅获取自己使用的物品，可以缩短时间。

1. 删除已经获取的翻译信息。

如果您从未执行过 apt-get update 或 aptitude update，您可以跳过此操作。

如果您已经执行过 apt-get update 或 aptitude update，由于您已经获取了国际化（翻译等）的信息，因此首先我们将删除它们。

如果有国际化信息存在，即使更改了apt的设置，也会尝试获取更新信息。

cd /var/lib/apt/list
sudo rm -f *Translation*

2. 选择要使用的语言设置

打开编辑器，打开/ etc /apt /apt.conf文件（如果文件不存在则创建）并添加以下行：“这是要使用的语言！”

编辑和保存需要具备 root 权限。

APT::Acquire::Language "ja_JP";
APT::Acquire::Language "en";
APT::Acquire::Translation "ja_JP";

3. 更新软件包数据库 (Gengxin ruanjianbao shujuku)

这是个约定，对吧。

apt-get update

或

aptitude update

请运行并更新软件包数据库。
不再获取指定语言以外的国际化信息。

4. 真实的情况会如何变化？

在进行设置之前，执行了 aptitude update，结果如下。

$ sudo aptitude update
