According to ABOUT-NLS from gnome-core:
Internationalized packages have usually many `po/LL.po' files, where
LL gives an ISO 639 two-letter code identifying the language.
and that's what the one in the gimp source has to say:
Language codes are *not* the same as the country codes given
in ISO 3166.
And ISO 639 seems to specify:
uk Ukrainian
BTW, I have no clue why there are different ABOUT-NLS in gnome-core and
gimp or which one is newer or more accurate.
Salut, Sven
PS:
If you are looking for a good laugh, point your browser to the en_SV
translation for gnome-lookit. This is definitely a language that is not
defined in any ISO standard:
