Custom fallback language per language
complete

Jakob Kragelund
We currently have translations for languages which are used in multiple countries, and would like an easy way to make country-specific adjustments without having to have 2 or more separate locales. For example, we have German, and use it in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. We don't want to have to maintain all our translations strings in de-DE, de-AT and de-CH but would prefer a common "de", with the ability to make overrides in de-DE, de-AT and de-CH. If we could create de-DE, de-AT and de-CH and be able to set their fallback language to "de" (and then also have nl-NL and nl-BE with fallback to "nl", and fr-FR and fr-BE with fallback to "fr" etc) that would solve it for us.

Similarly we might want IT to fall back to ES rather than EN when possible since those languages are more closely related
