It shouldn't be needed, dictionaries should be installed when a user adds language support, the dictionaries should be part of the language groups. If that doesn't happen there's bugs in out language support in the yum-langpacks plugin or the packaging of dictionaries and they should be fixed. But from the original mail from Mo it looks like the US dictionaries should be there already.
