Microsoft has released MUI (Multilingual User Interface) language packs for Windows 7 RTM. The Windows 7 language packs is available via Windows Update as optional update for Windows 7 Ultimate and Enterprise editions only.According to Springboard Series blog, all language packs, except Traditional Chinese for Taiwan for Windows 7, for both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions is now available for free download.
Windows 7 RTM x86 and x65 MUI language packs in DVD ISO format were leaked earlier from MSDN and TechNet Subscriber Downloads. User who prefers to download all language packs for Windows 7 via BitTorrent (BT), torrent is available for the MSND or TechNet DVD ISO versions.
Windows Update will always display all language packs that are available. Any unwanted language packs can be made hidden in Windows Update.

After downloading the Windows 7 language packs, run the .EXE executable file to extract the .CAB language pack (LP) cabinet file. Then, follow the guide to install language pack in Windows 7, and guide to change display language on Windows 7 user interface and welcome screen.
You can also look for language files by browsing disc\sources\install.wim in a program like 7-zip. Under the Windows folder, the only language folder visible to me is 'en-US'. I compare this to my actual Windows folder, where I have installed Japanese and German language packs, and there I can also see 'ja-JP' and 'de-DE' folders.
So I think the answer is: you can't install language packs from a retail DVD. Googling shows that Microsoft have produced a DVD with all the language packs on for MSDN subscribers, but it's not available for general download.
The more thorough (as in, more of the UI and help content translated) Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packs are available only for the Ultimate and Enterprise editions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, and can be downloaded via Windows Update.
The Windows Vista packaging and installation design are MUI-based and all localizable data are packaged in language-specific packs, and each language pack can be deployed in different scenarios. For example, although the retail DVDs for Windows Vista contain single-language versions, users of the Ultimate edition can download additional MUI language packs and can switch UI language from the Regional and Language Options control panel.
The language pack changes the language of the Windows Operating System. The default language is always English and other languages can be installed manually. All the language packs are described in KB2483139.
