need to set up several localizations for an app I'm working on and

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.

Some highlights:
See section "Adding Localized Resources". Mentions you can use
either ISO 639 or ISO 3166. Also mentions that for backwards
compatibility, NSBundle/CFBundle support human-readable names for
several common languages.
The link:
<file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/MacOSX/
Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/LanguageDesignations.html>
documents the usage of the specs and also has URLs to full lists.
Right, I know what the various ISO 639 designations are, but I was
also wondering if anybody knew how far back they were supported vs
the legacy designations in terms of CFBundle/NSBundle, nibs, etc. I
expect that running on 10.3 will be the earliest I have to consider
and don't want a later surprise when that OS version doesn't
recognize the ISO 639 versions.
