Comment(by manuq):

 The CP module gets the translation of each language and territory using
 python [http://docs.python.org/2/library/gettext.html#gettext.dgettext
 gettext.dgettext] with the domains 'iso_639' and 'iso_3166' respectively
 ([http://webapp5.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/SuSe-Dokumentation/packages/iso-
 codes/README a reference here]).

 This is an abbreviation of what is happening, having set English (USA) as
 primary language and Spanish (Argentina) as secondary:

 {{{
 [olpc at xo-1e-88-ab ~]$ cat ~/.i18n
 LANG="en_US.utf8"
 LANGUAGE="en_US.utf8:es_AR.utf8"
 [olpc at xo-1e-88-ab ~]$ echo $LANG
 es_ES.utf8
 [olpc at xo-1e-88-ab ~]$ echo $LANGUAGE
 en_US.utf8:es_AR.utf8
