I can't, as most XML translation tools use the proper BCP47 format,
such as KDE's, itstool and possibly a lot more. About 54% of metadata
are in BCP47 format (checked with Debian's data), which is really
significant.

If there was any way out of this that doesn't involve adjusting so
much locale processing and would work with all existing tools, I'd
love to know it though... But I don't see it :-/
