Hello mike, For now, there is no issue in Weblate. The translator explicitly selected pt_pt instead of pt. I can rename the language code for your project if you wish. For the rest of the Linux ecosystem, I have no idea, but I feel like the Linux ecosystem handles locales in a very basic way. In the web ecosystem, there is a list of priority, but I'm unsure this really exists in Linux. A Brazilian Portuguese user should have in his list of priority, something like: pt_br before pt before pt_pt This really is the same issue as the zh-tw, zh-cn change to zh-hant, zh-hans. Here is another side effect: https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server/issues/5829 The source of this Mozilla issue is https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18419 which was a change closed in May 2013! I'm unsure we should force Weblate to have a specific behavior, but rather let upstream projects to decide what language codes they wish to use, depending on their own deployment constraints.
