Character Palette, Keyboard Viewer, and Japanese Kana Palette Missing–Solution

I received the following question:

“I have a little problem with my image, and am testing this out for the moment. BaseOS is 10.5, Apple Updates is 10.5.2 combo, LeopardGraphics, and security update 2 v. 1.1. In the International System Preference, I can only select between different languages input methods, and NOT select Character palette, Japanese Kana Palette or Keyboard Viewer (these are simply missing from the list to the Input Menu).”

I think I picked this up from an Apple Discussion forum–the solution is to delete the following:

/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.le*

If you have a CustomPKG with a postflight making changes to your build, the appropriate command would be:

/bin/rm $3/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.IntlDataCache.le*
