Why? What exactly is the point of creating yet another interface?
More interfaces for more interfaces sake is bad :-(

Sorry, brain fart...

An unnamed ILanguageAvailability would give a utility that listed what 
languages the project thought were available. This could be the superset 
of all languages found in all domains, maybe only the languages found in 
all domains, maybe something else completely as Hanno described. Local 
or global 'cos I can imagine this being different for two sites existing 
in the same zope instance.
