In principle, if the user could be well informed, and be provided to decide,
sure why not. But in practice such information would be compiled based on a
small subset of all catalogs (e.g. the Plasma stuff). It wouldn't reflect,
say, translation state of KMail. Also, this includes the language KCM, while
I was thinking of a case where the user picks up a (glibc) locale in the
login manager and that's it.
