Language names for .lproj folders are expressed either with the English name of the language, or using an ISO notation. For example, English.lproj can also be written en.lproj, but also en_EN.lproj (for Great Britain) and en_US.lproj (for USA). You can specifiy variants. All this is standardized at the ISO level (don't remember the exact ISO #) and the abbreviated codes can be access using the Locale manager.

For example, for a Spanish localization, a folder in the bundle is created with the Spanish.lproj name. Project builder shows the nib files with a Spanish version. However, the International System Preference, you set Languages to "Espaqol" (Spanish world for Spanish).

For me, the problem is the lesser common European languages, and the Asian languages, which seem to have no connection between the name in the System Preference and the name of the nib folders. Being barely literate in English, it gets difficult for languages I do no know (ex. Nederlands is Dutch, Dansk is Danish)!
