I would set it to en. Not setting a default one just push the decision
of using default on every consumer of the information, and that doesn't
sound good.

http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry

Fact is there is several registry of language ( like 6 iso standards +
ietf one ), so people can easily have it wrong ( not to mention people

We could feed the list from the one of tx
( http://www.transifex.net/languages/ but in a more exploitable, I
assume this can be downloaded somewhere ).

Yup, nice idea. I was also about to think how we should manage i18n team
in ldap, and if this is needed. This would requires to have the
delegation feature working in catdap ( not sure of the status of this ).
