The way to do that is to tag all language specific files at the rpm
build time, automatically trough spec-helper.
However that couldn't be done before the proper info were carried on
the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file.
That is planned for next release.

Well, you can do it manually:
cd /usr/share/locale
for i in * ; do
case "$i" in
# ones to always keep; add your language if other than English
iso*|en*|C*) ;;
# delete all the rest
*) rm -rf $i ;;
esac
done
