While I don't know about this direction, the opposite seems to exist 
(looked up in Cocoa's docs):

    + (NSString 
*)localizedNameOfStringEncoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding

    Returns a human-readable string giving the name of encoding
    in the current locale’s language.

Given the method is implemented in GNUstep as well, there should exist 
some lookup table already.
