I do see the difference, and perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I am merely
pointing out that the documentation I included the link for, to me, reads
that you should say "Japanese.lproj" on the one hand, and use a two-letter
codes on the other hand "ja.lproj".

You inperpret this to mean point that you should use the more verbose
"French.lproj" if you want to match to a non-specific French, and only use
the two-letter form when qualifying it with a specific local, as in
fr_CA.lproj.

By corollary, you would not use "fr.lproj" to describe the general French
case.

Which is at is not quite what is said by "<email_removed>", who indicated
that you should always use the two letter form (with some special reference
to the three-letter form, which is not relevant here). So this would
indicate that the general French case would be "fr.lproj".
