Within Icecat a large number of languages or locales (language and country combinations) are supported. The numerical IDs (Icecat LangID) and language shortcodes in Icecat that we use for these languages or locales can be found below. For the sake of shortcodes and simplicity, we use the general country or language code for the main locale. So, “DE” is actually short for “DE_DE”, and just “DE” is used for getting a general German version of the data sheet, which is useful in any country or region where German is spoken. But, to get specifically German content for Switzerland “DE_CH” is to be used.
(Note: In a few cases, like US or BR, country and not language codes are adopted by Icecat as lang code. Over time, we will look into harmonizing these inconsistencies)

A colleague will contact you
Is it possible to change what locales you are subscribed to? To get the INT XML-file to return fewer locales?
Dear Bjorn
Yes, it is possible if you are subscribed to Full Icecat catalogue. Responsible country manager at Icecat will contact you.
