Dear Maintainer,

I'm sorry because I'm going to complain, but I don't understand why in the top
corner on the right side of the "login greeter" I read en-US.utf8 instead of
English. And if I use an other language I will read, for example, it-IT.utf8.

It's strange, I'm not speaking or writing in en-US.utf8 and neither in it-
IT.utf8. I speak and write in English and maybe in Italian, French or Spanish.

It's a stupid thing but not so stupid if you don't know what it means. Not all
the people which use Debian are coders or IT technicians. I think that is a
little thing but with a big collateral effect those to ward off the people from
informatics because it creates a sense of inadequacy.

Best regards,
Daniel

Sure, but there's apparently no way to get that mapping from the libc.

Even better, it should say "Language" (or its translation in the
current language, or an icon) instead of giving the first language in
the list. Since I've installed all the locales, it says "aa_DJ.utf8",
which looks rather strange since I never use this language.
