I agree with others %_install_langs is probably not the way:
I think it is not intuitive for users and hard to find.

My plan which I mean(t) to blog about is to have a meta-package
per language for langpack support.
So if you want Japanese and Spanish langpacks say, you
would just install japanese-langpacks and spanish-langpacks
(from the lang support groups) and yum would start listening.

So if the yum plugin is available to anaconda it should be ok.
