PS: I'm purposely ignoring the problem with the whole bunch of German regional dialects (and even .at has far more then one. Yes, most in .de can't distinguish them, though they are quite different) which adds to the problem of an "official German translation". We already have way too much "German language imperialism" in .at - thanks to strange TV translations;-)
It is possible to support sub-dialects. We already support pt and pt_BR for Portuguese and zh_CN and zh_TW too. I've occasionally been asked for English dialects to add colour and internationalisation :). What doesn't work so well right now is stacking those dialects, so that if most of en_US works for you, you'd just need an en_GB for the few differences between American and British English. This might be something we could fix in Mailman 3; it could make for a nice little contribution if someone were interested in doing so. -Barry
