It happens to everyone?  Doesn't happen to me.... because when i did
my install.. i only selected english.  If you don't want the addional
language packages to be updated.. don't install the additional
language packages to begin with.. or remove the ones you don't want on
your system.

And if you want specific packages excluded from update commands learn
to use the --exclude cmdline option or the exclude configuration
switch in the config files yum is using.
