Language tags has always been, and still are the source of conflicts in standard organisations (ISO and IETF etc.)
As an aside (I am ignorant with that regard), I have seen language encodings being widely used that look like PT_PT or PT_BR. Difference or applicability?
As far as I remember PT_PT stands for Portugees as spoken in Portugal while PT-BR denotes the Brazailian variant. So one sees American English, UK english etc.
And so on, and so on, and so on - e.g.: de: General German de-de: German German de-at: Austrian German de-ch: Swiss German de-li: Liechtenstein German de-lu: Luxemburgian German de-nl: Dutch German ;-) Have a look at the language prefs of your browser of choice. Best, -C.
