I have not modified the default zypper config and yet I also run into 
the issue of the language packages being installed.

zypper lloc

Code  | Language                | Requested
------+-------------------------+----------
en    | English                 | Fallback
en_US | English (United States) | Requested


grep -i locale /etc/zypp/zypp*.conf

/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:## A list of locales for which translated package 
descriptions should
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:## Valid values:  List of locales like 'en', 'en_US'...
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:## If data for a specific locale are not available, 
we try to find some
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:# repo.refresh.locales = en, de


All configuration lines are just comments.

The zypper addlock '*-lang" didn't work for me because then when 
iso-codes-lang needs updating it fails because it is locked.

I end up manually removing all *-lang packages except for iso-codes-lang 
and then added locks for all the language packages that I removed.

Whenever a new one gets installed I remove it and add a lock for it.

So where is the configuration that you refer to that will stop it from 
installing the language packages ?
