Mac software from both Adobe and Microsoft are, for whatever reason, very particular about these files. As Bill notes above, the ability to run updates may be affected after running Monolingual.

The best answer when you get a new Mac is to immediately do a fresh install of OS X without the extra language support (or printer drivers).

If you already have too much stuff installed on your existing Mac, do an "archive and install" with "preserve users and network settings". You can restore applications, etc. from a Time Machine backup. (You *do* have a current Time Machine backup, right?)
