Hi @nsp-code
You can see in https://translate.wordpress.org/stats/ that many localesLocale 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/ have huge backlogs.
