I'm afraid I don't see what you mean.
I know that the "locale" directory doesn't contain translations directly,
but rather subdirectories. VDR gathers the names of these subdirectories
and does a setlocale() for each of them. Then it tries to get the
translation of "LanguageName$English" in order to build a list of all
available languages. How else do you suggest that could be done?

I guess so.
