It might be my failure. The locale.alias is not upstreamed yet but under discussion. Probably I think it's better to revert "Latin alphabet" to "Unspecified". Currently the name of "C/POSIX" is not good since it's not the language name in GDM language list. My suggestion was "Latin alphabet" to modify the original "Unspecified" to follow the explanation of wikipedia. But it's also not good because C locale doesn't mean either latin only or English only. Since currently there is no good explanation, probably it would be better to revert to the original "Unspecified".
