Btw, I believe we should stick with two-letter codes for documentation.
It is simpler for users, for ourselves (as you point out, it is much two
easy making mistakes with xx-YY codes), and for documentation we
probably don't need such fine-grained distinction (on the contrary,
sometimes it is more convenient to mix different languages like Czech
and Slovak since speakers of both probably can read the other too.
