Delete useless Language files from FIFA09 Install Directory

Now if you have installed FIFA09, you must have noticed that it gulps quite a lot of space (~ around 5GB). And while you play the game, you are always asked the language. Now, most of the people do not use more than one language. Most are confined to ‘English’. So why even install the other language files?. The question becomes more prominent when you get to know that each language is eating around 360MB of your harddisk space. So if you just use English language, then your 360×4 MB is just getting wasted. It is quite a lot of memory for guys having low capacity harddisks or if you are running out of space. And because there is no option (while installing) to restrict installation of other language files, you just end up wasting your 1.4GB.

So an alternative is taking care of things manually after the game has installed. To get back our precious 1.4GB, we will be removing the other language commentry files manually from the installed directory. Naturally this will have some side-effects like, the game will crash if you select the language at game screen that you have already deleted manually. Now its obvious that you won’t have any problems if you play the language for which the commentry file still exists.
