Yes, basically it does have to do with various language and regional
support.  

But, of course, you shouldn't go about blindly deleting stuff since not
all the files are owned by language specific packages. 

What I would first do is run "yum grouplist" and see what groups are
installed.  You may very well see things like "Armenian Support" or
"Georgian Support" under the list of Installed Groups.  I would first
identify those and then go about doing "yum groupremove" on those you
don't want.

I would certainly check the size of /usr/share/locale with "du -s" to
determine the size and to see what effect the removals.
