<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think that we should have a default locale for "pt" for users who have "Portuguese" (without any variant) as the next preferred language. If it redirects/aliases for pt-PT or pt-BR, it will depend on the metrics used to decide this. For historical reasons pt=pt-PT, as Portuguese from Portugal (pt-PT) is considered the mother language while Portuguese from Brazil is a variation/fork from Portuguese from Portugal. "pt-PT" is also the reference language for other countries like Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, Equatorial Guinea, East Timor and Macau (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Portuguese">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Portuguese</a>). If you base your decision on the number of users, then "pt-BR" should be your choice for "pt". The important think is to have a solution for the "pt" and give them a option more close to their native language, without having to keep another locale for this to work.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers, </div><div><br></div><div>Cláudio</div></div></div></div>
