I am interested to know why I should specify the country code as well as the language code when localising my apps? Im sure there is a valid reason but hours of Googling has not made this obvious. Surely language code alone covers all bases?
Thanks
Jason
There are some differences between countries even if they share the same basic language. Those differences can be as small as spelling (color [AE] vs. colour [BE]), different words (trunk [AE] vs. boot [BE] in cars) or even completely different sentences since forms of expressing something politely might differ.
If those differences don’t matter, just use the language only code.
