Daniel0 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 No, there is no such thing as fr-gb or es-de or ja-fr or whatever... Or perhaps you're looking for the IETF language code and not ISO? It has the syntax you are requesting... first a required ISO-639(-1) language code optionally followed by a dash and a ISO-3166 country code. It's mentioned in RFC 2612 Section 3.10 Language Tags and in the HTML specification.

When you have a ISO code xx-yy, the first two are the abbreviation for the name of the language, and the second two is an abbreviation for the country that particular dialect is used in. In the case of English, there's en-us and en-gb, since they're two different "forms" of the English language, one in the US and one in Great Britain.
