Locales and languages are not the same thing. This distinction is
very important. See:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/
BPInternational/Articles/LanguageDesignations.html
Mac OS X uses BCP 47 for language identifiers/.lproj names. See:
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/bcp/bcp47.txt
While International Preferences doesn't let you select any possible
BCP 47 identifier, this is the scheme that's used. The actual list of
language identifiers available in International Prefs varies from
release to release of Mac OS X.

Can this list be accessed programmatically?
NSLocale has some class methods that may be useful for you (such as
+availableLocaleIdentifiers).
