I see. Yes, it would be nicer, I guess.

This risks to be a bit problematic because of all the neccessary 
encodings involved. Unless we do a nasty trick and instruct 
translators to translate special-meaning string in the language 
catalog with the language name (e.g. to translate 
"<<<CatalogLanguageName>>>"  to "Français"). Why not.

That you must look only for catalogs related to the application, in 
lots of directories, that you must somehow decide what exactly is 
"translation is available" (all catalogs? at least one of app's 
catalogs? 50 % of catalogs?). Also, you must do it before wxLocale is 
intialized and you have to somehow deal with language that don't 
require translation (this is usually English, but may be either en_GB 
or en_US and the other one may require a catalog, you may also have 
sources in some other language [if you have enough luck to get away 
with it]).
