I kept having the problem of when I did an "apt-get update" or "aptitude update" (or even using update manager / synaptic to update the package lists), apt would keep on trying to download the packages for Translation-en_AU. And they would keep failing, not only increasing the time it took to run an update, but also confusing you about whether it was working properly (and you had too keep telling yourself that it as alright for these packages to fail.
There is a way to not to get those errors because it is not trying to download them at all. I have found two solutions: A and B. Solution B works better in my opinion. Both "solutions" will probably work with any debain based distro (or in less geek-speek, it will work with Debian (does not matter what version) Ubuntu + variants (K/X)ubuntu e.t.c.)
Solution A
This solution is probably a workaround, and is only temporary, and only works if you update the computer using terminal (using apt-get or aptitude). To get it to work, run
unset LANG LANGUAGE
before running the update.

Solution B
A more permanent solution that will (most likely) work no matter how you update your package lists.
NOTE: If not using 'normal' ubuntu, then you might not have text editor (gedit) and so will have to use another editor
The get it to work, open up terminal and run
sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf
It should ask you for your password (and you should give it), then a file wil be opened. Insert the following line at the end of the file (it may be CTRL+SHIFT+V to paste - if you copied the line to the clipboard):
APT::Acquire::Translation "none";
Save and close the file with CTRL+X and then hit enter (to save to the same file).
