Disk space is cheap and it is less problematic to just have it.

language specific files should be marked with the %lang macro in the %
files of the spec file. If not, it is a bug.

You can configure rpm to only install languages you use - in which case
the %lang stuff you don't want doesn't get installed.

There currently is not an option for this in Anaconda - though I believe
you *can* modify the config file via CLI before Anaconda starts
installing (never tried).
