Yes, that's what I use in Glom, in the 
TranslatableItem::get_current_locale() function. I'm not very proud of
it:

http://git.gnome.org/cgit/glom/tree/glom/libglom/data_structure/translatable_item.cc#n189

It seems to work.

I also use iso-codes in Glom to discover human-readable names for
locales and their languages, and to get translated text for those
human-readable names.
