POSIX vs BCP-47 locales

[asgeirf]

Hi,

Observations from a newbie here...

I notice all the examples and also some of the underlaying code in fbtee relies on posix locales (en_US, ja_JP etc) and not BCP-47 (en-US, ja-JP etc) as used by most browsers, the Intl apis and navigator.languages etc. Probably since fbt has been around for a while before this got standardized in browsers?

It would be a smoother entry to fbtee if it was migrated to BCP-47. Just simple things like getting local display-names for locales in browsers would be easier. It works if I use BCP-47 locally for my languages, but it doesn't state anywhere that this is supported.

Perhaps a candidate for 2.0?

I think it would be great to switch over, but I'm not yet entirely sure what changes would be necessary.
