I don't think users should have to do this in general it should be done by the
system automatically, eg zu:xh, en_AU:en_GB, should be hardcoded somewhere.

So maybe s-c-l could set LANGUAGE fallbacks for certain languages, but really
this should be done by gettext/glibc/gdm at runtime since otherwise it only
works for the system locale anyway.
