Maybe the theme can just read the available property files and 
automatically set the available locales based on that? So only needed 
action will be to copy property file to the folder inside theme and it 
will work automatically without need to change anything in 
theme.properties or creating new theme.

One thing is, that combobox with available locales should be also 
automatically updated. So when you add new locale, you don't need to 
update all other property files to see new language in combobx.  I think 
that each locale can provide the known key with it's own name for it's 
own language and that will be added to the combobox. The property will 
be in the language itself, which I can't see as big issue, but rather 
more proper behaviour?

So for example, when you have english locale active, then in combobox 
you won't see:
- English
- French
- Czech

but you will see:
- English
- Français
- Česky
