Summary: Language codes forced to uppercase

Initial Comment:
Hello,

From what I understand, OmegaT does not enforce compliance with ISO 
language codes, which is fine. One annoying thing it does do, however, is 
force language codes to all uppercase. When starting a new project, if I 
use ISO language code "fr-CA", OmegaT changes it to "FR-CA" in the 
project TM. The problem for me is that if I merge the final project TM with 
an existing client TM using a tool like Heartsome TMX Editor, Heartsome 
distinguishes between "fr-CA" and "FR-CA" as if they are two separate 
languages. I realize that the people at Heartsome could also change their 
tool, but since the standard is to use lowercase for the first two letters of 
the language code, it would be nice if OmegaT at least did not change the 
language codes after I entered them.

Thanks very much,

Steven DeWitt

BTW, that's clearly a bug of Heartsome tools, because TMX
Specification reads
http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/tmx.html#xml:lang: "Unlike
the other TMX attributes, the values for xml:lang are not
case-sensitive"

OK, OmegaT won't force the case change, however it will
still treat fr-CA and FR-CA as equivalent (e.g., in TMX
import thing).

I noticed that too. I don't think it is good either.
