Description
Hi,
Our organization uses IETF BCP 47 locale codes with ISO 3166 regional subtags (e.g. en-US), and unfortunately to_language() converts the regional subtag to lowercase, en-us. This doesn’t work with our localization toolchain, and we’ve noticed we have hacky code in each of our Django-based project to make it work.
Would it be possible to allow overriding that logic in a cleaner way?
Thanks!

Language codes in IETF format are used in the HTTP
Accept-Languageheader which is case-insensitive. It's documented that the language part is always in lowercase.Unfortunately, I don't see a way to customize this behavior without a big refactoring or new settings.
