[WG: I18N & L10N] Request for opinions: displaying locales for choosing one

[Jean-Francois Leveque]

The suggestion does not include variant, and I think they're needed. It 
also displaying the language in two locales (which may be the same 
value), and I don't think it is needed when you display the code. YMMV.
