Yes, that's the idea. However, I think that showing, for each
languages, the most common combinations would be nice, not only for
English.
For instance, Greek would be shown as follows:
gr_GR Choose this......in greek (Greece)
gr Choose this......in greek (Other countries)
Users from, say, Cyprus or Macedonia, could then choose "gr" and then
be presented with all possible combinations, according to
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.
By the way, when it comes to greek, I see that no greek locale,
including gr_GR, is shown in SUPPORTED....Pretty surprising to me.
(I need to figure out what *exactly* is the rule of SUPPORTED and what
happens when one chooses a locale not shown there)
