As Khaled Hosny indicated in Comment 1, the only reason there are country
variants for Arabic now is because LibreOffice isn't able to deal with codes
without a country designation. The same holds for Dutch (and I guess French).

However, if someone wants to create a separate regional variant spellcheck
bundle, e.g., nl_BE for Dutch in Belgium (even if Dutch is standardized for all
countries where Dutch is spoken), such would still need to be accepted by
LibreOffice, as we shouldn't impose restrictions.

In any case, I think it is up to the developers to make the call whether to
change the title or not.
