--- Comment #18 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
For clarification (btw, "Someone looked at the official language codes
standards and said they added support for it." could really had indicated what
the actual code tags would be and where to find), the IANA registry
https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry
has

Type: variant
Subtag: ao1990
Description: Portuguese Language Orthographic Agreement of 1990 (Acordo
  Ortográfico da Língua Portuguesa de 1990)
Added: 2015-05-06
Prefix: pt
Prefix: gl
Comments: Portuguese orthography conventions established in 1990 but
  not brought into effect until 2009

So a valid language tag in addition to 'pt' (or pt-PT locale) would be
pt-ao1990 (or pt-PT-ao1990 locale).


There's also

Type: variant
Subtag: colb1945
Description: Portuguese-Brazilian Orthographic Convention of 1945
  (Convenção Ortográfica Luso-Brasileira de 1945)
Added: 2015-05-06
Prefix: pt
Comments: Portuguese orthography conventions established in 1945,
  generally in effect until 2009. This reform was not ratified in
  Brazil.

I deduce that for Portuguese (not in Brazil) orthography valid tags are
pt-ao1990 and pt-colb1945, and just 'pt' or pt-PT is assuming current
orthography pt-ao1990.


Fwiw, the https://github.com/TiagoSantos81/PortugueseLibreOfficeExtension uses
the utterly wrong tag pt-AO, which means Portuguese in Angola..
