Regarding the english name of the associated language: locale -a -v will 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.
nl_langinfo(_NL_IDENTIFICATION_LANGUAGE); nl_langinfo(_NL_IDENTIFICATION_TERRITORY);
etc etc
But I do not see how these could be used.
Some cut out example: # locale -a -v ... locale: de_DE.utf8 directory: /usr/lib/locale/de_DE.utf8
