Old Feature, not sure of the point, though
This has been a feature since at least 10.0.4 based on the date of Oct 9 2001 on a previous post:
Use scroll wheel in Show Info window
As I recall, OmniWeb was one of the first applications to include localization files, and I think this is where I saw it.
Disabling these languages does not make applications launch faster (which you can easily confirm) as the operating system will only load the single .lprog that is necessary for this particular launch instance. The only purpose I can see is from a permissions perspective - to prevent non-admins from running apps in other languages... although I'm not sure exactly why that would be necessary. Maybe for testing out language behavior when you're localizing your application.
A good feature similar to this is that some applications (like OmniWeb) enable you to disable Plugins from the Get Info pane, as well. This is useful (such as disabling a buggy 3rd party plugin), and would definitely make applications launch faster (disabled plugins go into a "PlugIns Disabled" folder, appropriately).
