[Norwegian] Which nb version?

fossMan

Seemingly, there are two versions of "Norwegian bokmål". There are "nb" and "nb_NO". Which one to choose for starting a new documentation translation?

@fossMan The standard way of doing things in Ubuntu translations is that translations are for the generic version (nb in this case), unless there is a specific need for regional translations to exist (such as for pt_PT and pt_BR). So you should do everything for the nb locale in this case, I think.

Unfortunately, it is a bit of a mess for those.

https://i18n.skolelinux.no/localekoder.txt is the general guideline, where
https://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG20/docs/n854-Bokmal.htm is preferred
https://icu.unicode.org/design/norwegian-locales-changes-in-v39 says "no" is un-deprecated,
but that only makes sense to select as just one option to have the other (nn_NO, or nb_NO) as a fallback, not for content.

On the new platform it is all in one locale, which avoids duplication.

TL;DR, nb_NO it is.
