Comment:

 Here's a merge request for this ticket:
 https://dip.torproject.org/cohosh/gettor/merge_requests/4

 As described in the commit messages, these are the rules for chosing a
 locale:
 - if only the language code is given, choses the regionalization that
 occurs first in the locale list (e.g., "en" --> "en-US"
 - if regionalization for the language is *not* present, choses the
 generalized language or a different regionalization (e.g. "pt-PT" --> "pt-
 BR")
 - parses both the subject and body looking for the most specific
 regionalization
 - defaults to en-US if no available language is found

 It might be good to include '''all''' available regionalizations if no
 specific one is given (e.g., "es" --> "es-AR" and "es-ES"), but that would
 probably require a re-examination of how to structure the gettor message
 body so that the distinction is clear. I'll leave that for a future ticket
 for now.
