You don't even need to do that. The code will try to match the whole
string first, then try a match at 5 characters, and then finally at 2.
So it would find a match no matter whether you had "es_ES_PREEURO" or
"es", so long as there existed a locale in SWORD that started with
"es".

Yes, it will be set to English.
