So you guys want to say that you never heard that in %files is
possible to add %lang(<language>) tokens and when you will put in
/etc/rpm/rpmrc line:

%_install_langs <lang1>[,<lang2>,[..]]

or

%_install_langs all

you evey install new or upgrade existing package will cause that only
resources marked in %files by exact %lang() tokens will be installed?
???
And you never heard about this possibility to add %packages section
name param like:

%packages --instLangs <lang1>[,<lang2>,[..]]

by which you initial installation using anaconda installed will be
done only with installed files marked only exact languages tokens?
Really?
I'm really disappointed as I'm personally contributed more than 10
years ago some parts in find-lang.sh script which is behind %find_lang
macro which simplifies adding %lang() tokens to some well known
classes of files which may be a part of some packages.

Looks as well like some people never heard that in %files section is
possible to add %doc tokens and by this possible to choose install
system without installed documentation (and this is why this overkill
with doc packages already happens). Installation with documentation
exclusion is fully supported by rpm, dff and anaconda installer as
well.
