I'm working on the translation, but I thought this ought to be sent first.
AFAIK, currently if a ca_ES@valencia translation is added it won't be
selectable.

You mean in countrychooser/shortlist-ca ? This only asks for country, so it
cannot distinguish between Valencian and non-Valencian speaking areas (both in
eastern Spain).
Also, Valencian speakers normaly identify their language as "Valencian", not as
"Catalan". Requiring that they choose Catalan and then select their locale in
a sub-menu might be confusing to some of them.

They're in SVN pending upload. But if you prefer to wait untill they're in sid,
that is alright. I don't think it'll take much.
