One can begin with:

  for f in `locale -a`
  do
    echo -n `LANG=$f locale language`
    echo " $f"
  done

After some more processing (removing duplicates, aliases -- ie. when $f is
different from C, POSIX, ?? and ??_??.* -- and putting all locales for a
given language on a single line), it should become suitable for GDM.
