This can still be handled via the general locale handling so all a DE
should have to do is query locale, see

user languages

[Mubarak AlQahtani]

Dear All,


One of the user's aspects is languages that he speak (or at least understand), 
so is it mandatory for the operating system (i.e Desktop environment softwares) 
to know the preferred languages ( defaults )?!!


As a programmer I prefer if the DE has some defaults info for each user. not 
sure under what category it should be but its user's info.


Thanks
