It's quite complicated, and the answer will probably be different
depending on who you ask that question. The Norwegian Language Council
has a brief summary in English here: <URL:http://www.sprakrad.no/norw1.htm>

"nb" is Norwegian bokm�l and "nn" is Norwegian nynorsk. "no" is the old
language code which was used "Norwegian", without qualifying which of
the variant[1] was used. Most "no" translations are probably Norwegian
bokm�l, though.

[1] Whether or not bokm�l and nynorsk are different *languages* are
    up for debate. Some people think that splitting "no" into "nb" and
    "nn" was a bad idea. Some people think the opposite.
