Kiss.... Keep It Simply Sparse.
I believe in one entry for each supported language, I am also thinking of installation via text mode anaconda.
Think about keyboard layouts that are not the default for the language in question. Many people use English Fedora, with foreign keyboard layouts.
Have you considered deferring the locale selection to when you present the spoke menu, it is there you may want to put the multiple versions of English,
multiple versions of French, Multiple versions of Spanish (Latin Americans have their own Spanish derivative) etc.
Would you know, if you included all the multiple language locals, if there will be room on the DVD to hold all the essential Fedora software?
A reminder, F19, before some debugging code was removed, exceeded the size of the classical DVD of 4.7gigs. F19 for a while was only installable via flashdrive.
Each locale may have it's own keyboard layout but that does not mean that it would be used. Can all the locales, keyboard layouts, translations, etc. be stored on the DVD or on a live image?

What about side by side: language and form (the regional variant). Advantage is, a default setting can be shown — seems unclear how to show a default without them side by side, because the default shown should be the form. If the language is entirely wrong, that means the user has to depend on the Back button, which is completely non-obvious and not understandable even to some English speakers.
Disadvantage of side by side is that it assumes a left to right reading and selection style, which isn't friendly to right to left languages.
