I guess it could, but I foresee two drawbacks: 1. Not all languages in Babel's kernel are defined in independent ldf files (all variations of french, portuguese, and english share a common ldf, IIRC; they apply different sets of specifications defined in babel.def); 2. You need to read/write these lists somewhere in LyX path, so you need to add an extra module to read/write a file containing this list of languages and display them in LyX menus. This requires a rewrite of this routine in LyX guts, and that's developers job. Somewhere in between might be ideal: specify this read/write routine, define the languages in Babel kernel as default, and add all undefined languages by ldf files via LaTeX-Configure. In any event, this route will require developer attention. Luis.
