Summary0000179: Locales have non-standard designations [L10n]
DescriptionThere is a mixture of 3 letter and 2 letter codes, with `SP` for Spanish being incorrect (should be `ES`).
When looking at localisation, it is confusing that standard ISO 639-1 was not followed (at least).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

Ideally (if there is no size / performance impact) we should adopt the `language-COUNTRY` code standard, to make identifying the locale much easier. This is constructed with ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2.

`CA` - Catalan ? --> `ca` or `ca-ES`...?
`ENG` - English --> `en` or `en-US`.
`ET` - Estonian? --> `et` or `et_EE`...?
`IT` - Italian --> `it` or `it-IT`.
`RUS` - Russian --> `ru` or `ru-RU`.
`SP` - Spanish (Castilian) --> `es` or `es-ES`.
