 When your WordPress installation is set to a language other than "English
 (United States)", each time a core update is installed (or re-installed),
 several language files are added to `/wp-content/languages/` whether they
 are required or not ...


 {{{
 /wp-content/languages/plugins/akismet-en GB.mo
 /wp-content/languages/plugins/akismet-en GB.po
 /wp-content/languages/themes/twentvtwenty-enGB.mo
 /wp-content/languages/themes/twentytwenty-enGB.po
 /wp-content/languages/themes/twentvtwentvone-enGB.mo
 /wp-content/languages/themes/twentytwentyone-enGB.po
 /wp-content/languages/themes/twentytwentytwo-enGB.mo
 /wp-content/languages/themes/twentytwentytwo-enGB.po
 }}}


 I believe that these files should **only** be installed if the relevant
 plugin or theme is installed.
