[squeak-dev] country code -> language

Hi guys,
anybody knows where do I found a table to match ISO country codes to language
codes?
like:

US -> EN
UK -> EN
AU -> EN
BR -> PT
PT -> PT
ES -> ES
AR -> ES
and so on for all this planet?
thanks
sebastian
PD: I dont need klingon codes so far :^)

Hm, I wonder how you would map Switzerland. We have four official
languages... (and there are certainly many other countries that have
more than one language).

Or South Africa, with our _eleven_ official languages.

Does one of *those* include Klingon?

I know some countries have more that one language.
I supose I'd choose the one culturally considered as predominant.
Among those four there is one around there?

Well the locale plugin messed about with this, so you want to view
ISO 3166
http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements

ISO 639
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html
http://www.w3.org/International/

Answering seriously, I'd have to say English (and not just because
that's my first language). Outside of South Africa, Afrikaans is
understandable by the Dutch & Belgians, but there are, as far as I know,
very few speakers of Xhosa, Zulu, Venda, etc.

That has the potential of pissing of all the others, just saying.

Yeah, pretty naive.

I mean, if you don't provide mx_es for the states of the US near the border,
you're already losing.

In Switzerland, definitely. Some people may not even understand you if
you choose German as the default language for Switzerland.
