Rationale:
Stick to language code standards to:

  • prevent broken subsystems/incompatibility
  • prevent consistency throughout different components (Mist, Dapps, etc.)
  • provide clear guidelines for translators

Proposal:
Current most accepted code standard is RFC 4646: language in lowercase (ISO 639-1),
then a hyphen, then the region in uppercase (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2). (ref: Camilo Sperberg, 2013, i18n*:Things to take into account)

List of (RFC 4646) language codes, excerpt:

af      Afrikaans
af-ZA   Afrikaans (South Africa)
ar      Arabic
ar-AE   Arabic (U.A.E.)
ar-BH   Arabic (Bahrain)
ar-DZ   Arabic (Algeria)
ar-EG   Arabic (Egypt)
