No you don't. Not in the ls output below, anyway.
And it's rpmnew and not rmpnew.

Can you confirm that your /usr/sbin/upgrade_languages_conf contains 6 
lines like this:

my $oldfname = shift;
my $newfname = shift;

Usage() unless $oldfname &&    $newfname &&
            -f $oldfname && -f $newfname &&
            -s $oldfname && -s $newfname;

If you hadn't edited the previous languages.conf file, then you won't 
have a .rpmnew file and therefore won't have any upgrading to do.

Your typos in your filenames mentioned above make me slightly doubtful 
of the filenames you are talking about now. Sorry.
