Comment:
There are two different language code formats, the
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag IETF language tag] (e.g.
zh-Hans, zh-Hant) used for example in browser `Accept-Language` headers,
and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale_(computer_software) Posix
locales] (e.g. zh_Hans, zh_Hant) used by the gettext translation system.
Django has the
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/21420096c4db78ccb8f549a29d662cff870d363c/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py#L76
to_locale and to_language] functions to convert between those formats.
So you should use the right format depending on the location of the
language code reference.
This is also explained in:

code
