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).
