So implicit inputs provide their binaries only during build-time?
Enlightenment actually uses the output of 'locale -a' during runtime.

Enlightenment uses
  output = popen("locale -a", "r");
in these three files:
  src/bin/e_intl.c (_e_intl_locale_system_locales_get)
  src/modules/conf_intl/e_int_config_intl.c (_fill_data)
  src/modules/wizard/page_010.c (wizard_page_init)

'page_010' is the language selection screen during first time config.

Regards,
Timo Eisenmann
