... which is a problem, because what you really want is
1) Choose Brazilian Portuguese
2) Be presented a list of countries associated with this language (pt_BR):
-Brazil
-Other
3) Choose Other, then choose "Japan"
One more reason why I think the current behavior, where some
languagechooser entries list a country and some do not, is a terrible
inconsistent mess that needs to be fixed.
