When you install a language pack, you can change the interface language of Windows 7 to the language that you select. Anyways, you can easily uninstall these unwanted language packs from "Uninstall a Program" under control panel. So to do so, just click on Start menu, than click on Control Panel and than Uninstall a Program. Now on upper left hand corner you'll find an option called 'View Installed Updates', click on that. It will take some time to load the installed updates. Once it is done, locate the Language Pack update that you want to uninstall click on it and select “Uninstall”. Thats it.. this will remove the Language Pack update.

Hi, i was also having the same problem with my Windows 7 Ultimate couple of weeks ago. When i was annoyed of some useless language packs one of my friend suggested me how to remove those from my system. Here is what i did and hope it can help you also, just go thorough this:-
Open Start Menu and type 'LPKSETUP' in the search box, press Enter.
This will open Install or uninstall display languages window where you need to click Next.
Now select the second option that is Uninstall display languages.
Now mark or select the check box infront of the Language pack that you want to remove from your computer and click Next.
Once finished, you will get a message showing Uninstall completed, and you are done. Close this window and better restart the system.

If your friend has installed those language packs through .exe file or Windows image than there are two ways to remove language packs offline with DISM. You can either apply an unattended answer file to the offline image, or you can remove the language pack directly from the offline image, using the command prompt.
To remove a language pack using DISM, follow these steps:-
- Locate the Windows image (.wim) file that contains the Windows images that you intend to remove languages from.
- Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Windows OPK or Windows AIK, right-click Deployment Tools Command Prompt, and then select Run as administrator.
- At the command prompt, type the following command to retrieve the name or index number for the image you want to modify.
Dism /Get-WIMInfo /WimFile:C:\test\images\install.wim- Type the following command to mount the offline Windows image.
Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /Name:"Windows 7 HomeBasic" /MountDir:C:\test\offline- Type the following command to remove a language pack from the image. You can remove multiple .cab files using one command-line statement.
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Remove-Package /PackagePath:C:\packages\package1.cab /PackagePath:C:\packages\package2.cab ...- Type the following command to commit the changes. The image remains mounted until the /unmount option is used.
Dism /Commit-Wim /MountDir:C:\test\offline- The language packs are removed from your image.
