The short answer is that the "various gnome applications" are doing things incorrectly and violating standards if they think "nl_NL.UTF-8" is a correct language code.
But we should probably still handle this for valid codes like "nl-NL" that don't exactly match existing codes like "nl". I don't know when it will be done or by whom, but I added it to the sourceforge feature requests list, so at least it won't be forgotten.

Hi,
I dropped this issue on the gnomesword list but it seems to be sword instead.
If I use the regular locale setting of LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 the sword module does not recognize this. I have to set it to LAN=nl to make sword find the proper config file.
But various gnome applications do not like the short LANG settings and complain.
Can handling of the locale settings be changed to handle the common local settings in stead of relying on it to match an exact string?
So en.conf would be an match for en_GB.UTF-8 unless there is a more specific en_GB.conf file to override the en.conf settings.
