Hi David,

The idea is about _refraining_ from showing all the locales, both in GDM
and in language-selector's "Language" tab. (The tab in language-selector
for other locale settings is the place for showing all the locales.) At
the same time, the variants should be added to the GDM options as per
bug 408474.

Right now I have four installed languages: English, Swedish, German and
Catalan. While 'locale -a | grep \.utf8' lists 29 locales, running the
lang-list.pl script gives me:

ca                Catalan
ca...@valencia    Catalan (Spain - Valencia)
en                English
en_AU             English (Australia)
en_CA             English (Canada)
en_NZ             English (New Zealand)
en_GB             English (United Kingdom)
en_US             English (United States)
de                German
sv                Swedish

These are some of my questions for the time being:

* Would this be a suitable approach for determining available languages
  for message translation?

* Is listing the /usr/share/locale-langpack directory a safe way to
  find available translations, or is there more into it?

* As regards languages with more than one translation: When the country
  is not specified, does it matter which of the locales that is
  assigned to the LC_MESSAGES environment variable? If it does, how do
  we determine the main dialect of respective language?
