A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ and that it would be great for GTEs/LocaleLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ Managers to be able to add to the list of reasons.
