See `locale-language-names' and comments in it.  The major problem is
interpreting the codeset part in terms of a coding system since the
names are quite variable.

I don't know how the equivalent is supposed to work in MS Windows &

If you don't try to interpret it, Emacs probably won't behave
consistently with other programs.  Anyhow, you can set the coding
priority and input method trivially, and they are the only relevant
things at present.
