Hi Nicolás, you find localepurge in the AUR. It removes unneccessary locales from your system everytime you execute it. configuration is done in a config-file, so you easy can call localepurge without any options. Sure, purge the locales not automagically done by pacman, but it does its job as you requested. Mybe its suitable for you.
