Why Node.exe doubled .exe filesize? v12 vs v14

• Node.js Version: 12 vs 14
• OS: win10 -64bit

Why Node.exe doubled .exe filesize?
It has 53,8MB in version 14 but 27,9MB in version 12

A large part of that addition is that Node.js now ships with full internationalization data by default. If necessary, you can build Node.js from source with minimal internationalization data instead.

Oh no... I don't need internationalization. Thanks for the explanation anyway.

Is there any easy tutorial on how to do that? Or perhaps is such a .exe already available? Also, I do use node-gyp. Will be node-gyp affected when the .exe file will have an unexpected structure?

Not that I am aware of.

I don’t think so.

Ok, thanks! It doesn't seem to be like 15 minutes of work for me.
