I would not recommend doing this. At least, leave "es" as is so that users with locales for countries that are neither Argentina nor Spain still have a Spanish translation. Also, I think this is the best way to waste resources by splitting work just because people can't agree on a few words and translations (for Spanish, differences are really minimal and most l10n teams I know have been able to find compromises to avoid fights about "computador" vs. "ordenador"). At least, for French, I always fight very hard when I find PO files names fr_CA, fr_CH and *also* fr_FR. So, as a short conclusion: - try to avoid the split - if you can't, don't change "es" to "es_ES" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
