I  admit I'm not quite sure where these came from, but I have:
============================================
[tim at alfred ~]$ grep i18n /var/log/rpmpkgs
kde-i18n-Brazil-3.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-British-3.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-Czech-3.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-Danish-3.3.1-1.noarch.rpm

kde-i18n-Turkish-3.3.1-1.noarch.rpm
openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-11.5.fc3.i386.rpm
============================================

I'm actually quite frightened to remove anything nowadays,
as I ran "yum remove <a package>" some time ago,
and it seemed to remove half my system.

Please remember that some of us (most of us?)
do not really know what we are doing ...
