    Here's the translation of the locales that Mark listed:

    arIN-Arabic-India
    arSD-Arabic-Sudan
    deBE-German-Belgium
    enBE-English-Belgium
    enBW-English-Botswana
    enHK-English-Hong_Kong
    enIN-English-India
    enSG-English-Singapore
    enZW-English-Zimbabwe
    esGT-Spanish-Guatemala (this was in the original list)
    esHN-Spanish-Honduras (this was incorrectly listed as esHM in the original
    list)
    faIN-Farsi-India
    glES-Galician-Spain (from the Linux web site, not Mark's list)
    gvGB-Manx_Gaelic-United_Kingdon
    knIN-Kannada-India (this was in the original list)
    kwGB-Cornish-United_Kingdom (kw is not in the ISO language list)
    psIN-Pashto-India
    ruUA-Russian-Ukraine
    sdIN-Sindhi-India
    shYU-Serbo-Croatian-Yugoslavia
    srYU-Serbian-Yugoslavia

    I couldn't find the country SU but looking at the Linux web site, I figured
    it was a typo and supposed to be SD.

    enZA was in the original list but from the Linux web site I found that enZW
    was missing.

    I couldn't find the language fs but found that faIN was missing.

    I don't think we should include kwGB since Cornish isn't in the ISO
    language list.
