The script shipped with the package (/usr/games/steam) will
automatically set the locale to C if a locale is not set.  However, it
won't override one that is already set.  Do we want the package to
override the user like that?

Does Valve have a list of supported languages that we could use to
decide whether or not to do so?

Best wishes,
