Thanks for reply.
You both have mentioned terms "canonicalization" & I also have read
this in API reference but I have not understood what does this term
means. Can you please explain this?
Thanks,

Yes, this is a good illustration of why you usually don't want to use
the AppleLanguages default directly. You can use
CFBundleCopyPreferredLocalizationsFromArray() and
CFBundleCopyLocalizationsForPreferences() to do most of what you might
want to do with the contents of this default, without having to deal
with canonicalization issues, and you automatically get to match the
standard CFBundle behavior.
