Localization Country Codes

Like most CAT software, Raiverb uses standard Country Codes composed of two letters, an underslash and two more letters: XX_XX.

The first two letters represent the language code, and the second two letters represent the country or region.This is so the software can recognize the variations in cultures within a same language (vocabulary, locale, timezones, currency, measure systems, etc). These variations are far from trivial. Some regions may use the same language, but not the same currency or measure system. If you want to know how crucial these variations are, read about Air Canada Flight 143.

For example: FR_FR represents Metropolitan French, while FR_CA represents Canadian French.
