     I would rather see it like this:
name(de_DE) or name(fr_FR)

Using not standard language identifiers can be confusig, and can lead to
some problems i future. Please note, that different languages use
different encodings, and using standard tags locale functins can help
us. For the archs and other files using localization IMHO UTF-8 should
be used, as this is the only standard encoding readable by humans and
able to encode any character.

Greets,
