WordPress Locale Code

This is a complete list of WordPress Language Locales. A locale is a set of parameters that defines the user’s language, region, and any special variant preferences that the user wants to see in their user interface. Usually, a locale identifier consists of at least a language code and a country/region code.

For example, to translate into Chinese(China), your language file will be zh_CN.po and zh_CN.mo
