Indeed â I missed that point (didn't take into account the way GNU
libc decides on the translation to use), so I was wrong.  Thanks,
Pablo, for clearing that up for me ;-)

Thus, it all comes down to:

I'm unable to make up my mind on these, since I don't have enough
knowledge.  This is something Metin and Roozbeh would have to clue us in. 

FWIW, if we need to rename files, it's better to do it sooner, rather
than later.

If most users of current "az" translations have so far used "az_AZ"
locale (Metin, what locale are you using?), then they would
experience no problems with switch from "az" to "az_AZ", and all
we'll be left with is the task of renaming files.

Cheers,
Danilo
