Locales have to exist AND to have an alias to be present in this
menu, for exemple if fr_FR.ISO-8859-15 is generated but that
french is an alias for fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, none appear

generated locales are in /etc/locale.gen
(rerun locale-gen once it contain what you want)
and aliasses are in /etc/locale.alias :)

Hope it's clear enough
