Currently Horde's translation has always country code. This means
inefficient use of translations. For example in Finland there is
approximately 500.000 people are using locale sv_FI but are speaking
Swedish. Thus the sv_SE translation works okay for them. And similar is that
Finnish translation should be named as fi.po instead of fi_FI.po because of
approximately 100.000 finnish speaking people living in Sweden. This is also
true for many other translations, but I'm not sure which ones.

I've attached a fix for README residing in po directory which currently
guides to wrong naming of translations. Also translators should be contacted
to verify or fix that they are using correct filename for their
translations.
