How do I hide UNWANTED Vista updates?

I don't want to see the language updates anymore. Is there any way to hide
the updates I will NEVER install?
Thank you...

1. Click View available updates
2. Right-click on the update you wish to hide
3. Click Hide Update
4. Confirm the UAC if needed

Thanx TaurArian. It's not user friendly is it?! I mean, I had to search
google to find this out, even the FAQs for Windows Update do not answer this
obscure option (IMHO!)

Vista prompts me to confirm via the UAC for EVERY item and there's over 30
languages! Is there a way to multi-select the updates and only confirm a
single time?
