 * Hello,
 * Thank you for a great plugin.
 * I have come across the following scenario and was wondering if you might be able
   to consider this please.
 * USA – English
    Japan – English Japan – Japanese
 * The English on the USA and Japan sites are different so need to be able to have“
   Locals” like the following, but the problem is the “Code” as Polylang only allows
   me to use 1 code 1 time.
 * Local – Code
    en_US – en en_JA – en jp_JA – jp
 * Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.

 * It is impossible to have 2 languages sharing the same code since Polylang uses
   the code in url to differentiate languages. However, you are not forced to use
   en for both. For example, you can use ej or je or whatever you want for en_JA.
 * However, I do not recommend to modify the locale which is used by WordPress, 
   plugins and themes languages files. If you do so, the automatic languages file
   download and update won’t work for WordPress and you will have to rename the 
   files in plugins and themes when they exist.
    en_US : OK jp_JA : does not exist,
   use ja instead en_JA : does not exist as far as I know but it does not matter
   since you will have to create all files yourself
