+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Depends what people join channels for: language or local

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> In our case it was a local support channel for UK users, so it's

+</I>&gt;<i> fall back on the long form (such as en-gb)?
+</I>
+After reading Marc's suggestion, maybe:
+ - keeping the 2 letters ISO format for locales (ie #mageia-fr for French, #mageia-en-gb for British English etc.),
+ - using full country name for local-based channels (ie #mageia-france, #mageia-greatbritain)
+
+could a solution? (although it makes for longer channel names).
+
+Using two letters code for country and 3 letters code for languages would be more confusing.
+
+Romain.
