Dear Julian,
You may find that the extra languages are not installed by the distro as such, but
rather installed as dependencies of another program. This has happened to me on
Debian 10, on which Libreoffice tries to download half a gigabyte of help files,
spellcheck dictionaries and translations in many languages that I do not (and sadly
will likely never) know. If you can identify which packages provide the languages,
perhaps by watching your computer update, then it would be possible to see what
caused these packages to be added. You could set this program to install only
critical dependencies or even exclude the language packages completely.
As for Windows, it seems to depend on which installation medium you choose - the
page from which I downloaded the ISO recently had an option for language. Amusingly,
this included 'English' and 'International English'. I shall let everyone guess
which of these variants is the one used in England!
Best wishes, Sebastian
