Of course it would be better to automatically derive the locale from the library itself, but this shows what it could look like. The only immediate problem I can see is the use of "XXX" as a currency code. Perhaps "EUR" could be used instead (and "@euro" appended to the name) although this is strictly not an EU locale.
