[horde] Translations not working on Solaris

[Robin John West]

Further info ... we determined that the webserver was trying to access  
directories such as (for example) "horde/locale/fr_FR.UTF-8/" rather  
than "horde/locale/fr_FR/". So we can put in a quick fix by creating  
symbolic links for the .UTF-8 directories that it is looking for. But  
we would still like to know how Horde determines the available locales  
and how they get mapped to the translation files. Can anyone explain  
this for us?
