    The RPMs you get for a particular package are the same regardless of the
    language options you have selected. However, the packages may behave
    differently based on configuration file settings (e.g. the LC_* and LANG
    environment variables) and you'll get extra RPMs installed to support
    different input methods etc.

    Yum will update packages you already have installed on the system (and
    will install any new dependencies or packages you select manually). It
    will ignore other packages. Yum itself has no concept of languages.

    Paul.
