You should keep as much as you can, but you don't have to keep it all. For example, I operate CA2 (which is not just a mirror, but is also used for some official testing, etc.), and usually only host English and French documentation. Those are the primary languages of Canada, so both are used on the mirror. There's really no guidelines on the languages a mirror *must* use, but to avoid being deemed "useless," you should at least have your native language or - if it's not available - either English or a neighboring country's native language (or both). Conversely, it's unlikely that you would need Japanese and Korean in Luxembourg, while a mirror in Japan would probably not need Polish. As such, it's prudent for them to remove those languages from the rsync, which conserves bandwidth for both the mirror and our servers. -- </Daniel P.
