We pass GetUILanguageTag to boost, and that's always one of the
languages we translate to, as opposed to GetLanguageTag which could be
basically anything. So if someone's desktop locale is, say "de_AT",
then boost is just going to get "de_DE" from LibreOffice as the UI
language. boost itself in boost/libs/locale/src/shared/message.cpp (or
somewhere like that) will then try de_DE/module.mo and fallback to
de/module.mo

No, boost::gettext takes a posix locale string as its argument when it
builds a std::locale to use as input to the translate methods http://ww
w.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/locale/doc/html/rationale.html#why_pos
ix_names which is a bit sucky, but I updated liblangtag to handle the
only one of the locales we translate to (ca-valencia) which it didn't
already know how to map to a posix/glibc locale, so we should have a
valid posix/glibc locale string for each of the bcp-47 language tags
that identify a UI translation target
