> The current locale setup has its flaws:
> * It forces you assume that the default locale is English which leads to problems that {{site_en.xml}} is often not found
> * Full locale cannot be used to create a site. The same language can differ from country to country.
> A [telescopic approach|http://www.javabyexamples.com/telescoping-constructor-in-java] is to start from the most specificly provided locale and go down to the most general one:
> {noformat}
> 'de_DE_BY', 'de_DE', 'de', ''
> {noformat}
> Assuming that the user has requested {{'de_DE_BY'}} as in German in Germany, specifically in Bavaria.
