That's all well and good, but what if he wants a working OS?

If by "working" you mean "working to install a hundred unnecessary language packs", then I suppose he's already got one.

@previous (E)

Nope, "Hide update" should permanently hide them. Does this for me on my laptop & desktop at least.

To do so go to Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update, click on "# Optional Updates available". Select all the language packs you don't want, right click and select hide update.
