My intention is to use it in localechooser. I have this patch prepared. The
idea is to grep for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@ ($country)" in the tab file, and if
that is
found use it for the short list instead of the normal name.
Btw, since it affects localechooser I think Christian would like to know about
it. I'm CCing him. Christian, I suggest you read the log in #360128 first, my
proposal is explained in detail here.
