There is no way to go from the newer form to the older form. You can use CFLocaleCreateCanonicalLanguageIdentifierFromString to go from the older forms to the preferred version (on 10.4 or later). If you're running on 10.3, that API is not available.

You can also use APIs on NSBundle/CFBundle to avoid having to do this canonicalization yourself. That's the best option.

I am referring to Technical Q&A QA1391. There apple has provided following code:

NSUserDefaults * defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSArray * languages = [defaults objectForKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
NSLog(@"%@\n", languages);

Apple also mentions that this will give different output on different OS. My application runs on 10.3+, 10.4+ & 10.5+ OS. I run the above code on these OS & found that on 10.3.7, for traditional chinese language, above code retuns zh_TW while on 10.4 & 10.5 it returns zh-Hant. My requirement is there any API by which I can get older canonical form (like zh_TW) from new canonical form (like zh- Hant)?

Please reply.
