The current Language/Region lists currently installed language packs. We can enhance that list or create another list to show more languages. That allows the user to set up international related preferences at once instead of changing them manually (note that there are several prefs has to be set, auto-detection, default charset, accept language, etc...). We also need a backend i18n support to take xp-locale and set preferences for that locale.
Keywords: intl
-> jbetak The current list only displays installed packs. Enhancing the functionality to locale-related pref switching sounds like a good idea, but it might be quite challenging to convey those two separate functions in the UI. Same goes for a separate list. I will try to work on this, but currently I's tend to think that designing a dynamically built list (based on language packs available online from an FTP source directory) might be something worth looking at. Selecting an item in this list, would download and install the pack and switch locale-specific preferences.

Hi, Naoki: All the i18n prefs settings mentioned here are in the language packs. How's this request different from downloading and installing the required language pack and then selecting it as the locale provider?
This is for languages which do not have lang pack available. And for the users who just want to set several intl defaults at once but not want to download and use localized UI.
