How else do you suggest that could be done?> First: general directory layout:/usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/*.mo contains translations the oposite is /usr/lib/locale. This does NOT contain translations (and if you insisit on the difference: nowhere in the subdirs are translations). There are just descriptions of the available locales. You now do this:Loop over the subdirs of vdr-private-locale directory and then check which of these are actually available by doing setlocale. Now this can also be done by a check if there is some matching directory under /usr/lib/locale/. Regarding the english name of the associated language:locale -a -vwill not only print the list of locales, but also a lot of detail info. This info should also be available via some API.But searching did not produce any API to query this.
