As you point out, Aztec doesn't have its own language code, just the
shared "nah" one, according to
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html.

Unfortunately, this is the same language code that you have claimed you
will be using for Nahuatl translations, for which you have already
registered a team with the GNOME Translation Project.

As gettext and glibc rely on the (unique) language codes for handling
translations, I see a problem here. You'd probably want to solve the
language code problem somehow in advance to dealing with translations.
