Displaying the available locales in english

Hi,

I am developing a program that would ask the user to set the locale.

For that, I need to display them to user in plain english.

like

English(US)
English (Uk)

depending on the user selection I need to set the locale.

Is there a command in redhat linux that would display locales in more friendly mamner rather than like this "en-US.UTF-8"

Thanks,
sunny.
