Hello everyone,
I'd like to rename `pt` directory in our svn to `pt_PT` to fix the bug that
most applications treat `pt` as `pt_BR`.
My understanding is that
`l10n-kf5/$LANGUAGE/messages/plasma-workspace/plasmashell.po` will be sync to
`plasma-workspace/po/$LANGUAGE/plasmashell.po`.
In turn, when we call
`KLocalizedString::availableDomainTranslations("plasmashell").values()` in
systemsetting to get the list of available languages,
it essentially iterates over the translation directories and return the list of
directory names that have plasmashell.po in them.
And that's why we're getting ["pt", "pt_BR"]. Sadly, most applications (include
KDE itself) treat `pt` as `pt_BR`.
So effectively, user can't set their system language to `pt_PT` in
systemsettings.
As a temporary measure, we can explicitly set 'pt' to 'pt_PT' in systemsettings
code. As I did in this MR:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2478
However, I wish in the long term we can rename the 'pt' in
https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf5/pt/ to 'pt_PT'. This should fix the root
issue.

Note: please reply on either MR, forum post or bug report. Forum post is
preferred since I linked it to the MR and bug report (and also in source code
comment)
