RE: Abbreviations for Languages?

Both pages that were cited here (ISO 639 and RFC 3066) use "en_GB" for "United Kingdom," as if Great Britain and the United Kingdom were the same thing - which of course they aren't.

ISO-639 are the two-letter codes, but to combine the language and the region, you want ISO-3166, which gives you en_US and en_GB for US English and Great Britain English.
