Country to locales mapping

Provides a mapping between ISO3166 country codes and RFC4646 locale codes. Locale codes are placed in order of usage in the region (e.g. de-CH > fr-CH > it-CH).

It is distributed as a Ruby gem.

Country-Locale data is stored in: data/country_locale_map.json. RFC4646 Locale codes are ordered to indicate preference. i.e. locale code in column 3 is more important than the locale code in column 5 for a country.

First Locale code always reflects the official language of country (but might not be only official language, e.g. CH).

Sources considered:

TODO: Give each locale a preference value: e.g. de-CH 0.6, fr-CH 0.3
