Comment (by pulkomandy):
I believe the ReadOnlyBootPrompt, which shows up when you boot an
installation CD, does most of that.
The idea is to use it as the primary way of setting up a language, while
the Locale preflet is meant for advanced use.
There are quite a lot of special cases to handle, however, such as French
having two main layouts for Mac and PC (and some alternatives ones),
countries spanning multiple timezones (USA, Russia, ...), and so on, which
makes it harder than it looks to setup everything on a single click.
