As soon as drop-down lists are supported by the sdk, the user won't be 
able to enter the language directly, but he can choose from a list which 
lists languages with variant only.

With autodetect=1 the server uses the most common variant, so spell 
checking is enabled. Now it might be confusing for the user when he set 
"en-GB" as language, but the language detection returns "en-US".
