I'm not quite sure how the Formats KCM factors into this though.

It doesn't really need language-support, what it needs is locale definitions
and I believe those only need compiling via locale-gen (which in turn is simply
a wrapper for localedef). Someone would need to do research how all this ought
to __actually__ work. Like, currently the formats KCM models QLocale's locale
list but I'm sure that internally relies on Qt's embedded locale data not the
system's theoretically generatable ones (/usr/share/i18n/locales). Then the
locales need generating if they don't already exist (locale -a). Once the
locale is generated it'd need adding to some file in /etc presumably
(locale.gen?)

>From glancing over the documention I don't expect the formats KCM needs distro
specific code at all, it just needs to actually wire into the system-level
locale infrastructure properly via a privileged kauth helper.
