There is a mixture of 3 letter and 2 letter codes, with SP for Spanish being incorrect (should be ES).
When looking at localisation, it is confusing that standard ISO 639-1 was not followed (at least).

Ideally (if there is no size / performance impact) we should adopt the language-COUNTRY code standard, to make identifying the locale much easier. This is constructed with ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2.

CA - Catalan ? --> ca or ca-ES...?
ENG - English --> en or en-US.
ET - Estonian? --> et or et_EE...?
IT - Italian --> it or it-IT.
RUS - Russian --> ru or ru-RU.
SP - Spanish (Castilian) --> es or es-ES.
