OSD language selection in the setup menu ;)

Well, having those in the OSD language selection menu seems strange, if
only two of those actually work, and others do not show up correctly
("deu,ger").
But indeed, the Audio and EPG language selection menus seem to use the
same list. IMHO the Audio and EPG languages should use a separate list,
that contains all the language names in the currently selected OSD language.

Yes, the languages that have no "locales-XX" package installed on my
system do not show up in the OSD language selection list anymore.
However, I cannot select them as EPG nor Audio language either, which
should still be possible.
