The LANGUAGE variable can be set in ~/.profile and it would override the LANG
variable gdm sets
(http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/The-LANGUAGE-variable.html#The-LANGUAGE-variable).

However I can imagine a user friendly interface for this. During the session
startup GDM reads from ~/.dmrc clauses like:

LanguageFallback[zu] = xh:af:en_ZA:en
LanguageFallback[ua] = ru

And if the current Language preference matches any fallback clause the
corresponding LANGUAGE variable is set up. Though this certainly should be
configured with some gnome utility, not through the GDM welcome screen.
Reasonable defaults (as /etc/skel/.dmrc) are welcome.

Finally a user has a way to set up a fallback list for locale languages. I
think this should be considered as a feature request to upstream.
