A number of the .lproj directories use legacy English names (English.lproj) instead of ISO 639 (en.lproj or en-US.lproj). I need to set up several localizations for an app I'm working on and was wondering what localization names I should be using, assuming 10.3+.

Is there a list available someplace of all the localization names OS X knows about?

The contents of this folder might be helpful:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Resources/ Languages

If I click on the Add Localizations button in Xcode, it presents a list populated with English, Japanese, French and German. I have several localizations besides those.

It's not official documentation, but you can always see what Apple is using in their applications. I think it's safe to assume they'll continue to support the old names like English.lproj for a long time since it's easy to do and it wouldn't be very smart of them to break the majority of third-party applications. But the ISO codes should be fine as well. It's unlikely you're going to provide a localization Mac OS X can't recognize.
