No you can't. I prefer to use English (specifically en-gb) whether I'm in the UK, Germany or Japan. Even if I were to move to Japan permanently, I'd still prefer to use English, and so leave that header set to en-gb, but would also like sites to know that I'm in the Asia/Tokyo timezone.
Or consider that French is used not just in mainland France, but also in St Pierre (off the Canadian coast), a load of places in the Caribbean, and the Indian and Pacific oceans. (I'm not forgetting Africa, but not sure whether all the Francophone countries there use the same dialect and so the same language code).
