Please, take also character-encoding into account.<br><br>Translation files don't state explicitly which encoding are<br>using and there's no consensus about this either.<br><br>For the spanish translation we used UTF-8, following the<br>
french example. I would take UTF-8 as the 'official' encoding<br>for all translations. It supports any language set (afaik)<br>and simplifies things for multilingual interfaces.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

What I would recommend is:<br>
* Creating a two-char lang file for the 'base' of the language<br>
<br>
* If there is a different interpretation of the language for a<br>
sub-language -- for example, en-GB spells 'colour' differently --<br>
extend from the default/'base' of that language.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>+1<br><br>We have many locales for spanish (Argentina, Chile, Colombia,...).<br>Translate only differences and default to base is less redundant & more mantainable.<br>
