Should we switch to 'uk-UA' locale? #5

ua-UA locale includes custom language code for Ukrainian. According to ISO 639-1 standard, the two-letter code should be uk and not ua.

@SachaG has noticed:

I guess the arguments for changing it is that it appears in the URL (https://2022.stateofjs.com/ua-UA) in various places

So the question is if it would be beneficial to switch it? Also I believe we should think in terms of SEO as well as about required changes in codebase and having redirects from previous locale.

Welcome to discuss!

I think this have value. We should educate community at large difference between ISO country codes and ISO language codes. I think mostly confusions comes from these places.
