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.

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.
