Description
When UIO was being designed, it went with language codes specified with an "_" instead of "-" to be consistent with Java Locale format ( https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/javase/locale.html ). This was the common format at the time.
These days BCP-47, using "-", is a common format for use on the web. We should either allow both formats or switch to using BCP-47.
For example currently only "en_CA" is accepted, but "en-CA" should be accepted.
