Elements' Details
Language
string Language;
Description
specifies an ISO Language Code.

These codes are the lower-case two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt.

If this field contains an empty string, the meaning depends on the context.

Country
string Country;
Description
specifies an ISO Country Code.

These codes are the upper-case two-letter codes as defined by ISO-3166. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html.

If this field contains an empty string, the meaning depends on the context.

Variant
string Variant;
Description
contains a variant of the locale; codes are vendor and browser-specific.

For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX. Wherever there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and put the most important one first. For example, a traditional Spanish collation might construct a locale with parameters for language, country and variant as: "es", "ES", "Traditional_WIN".
