 If I want to have the
 [https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/de/formal formal
 translation] of German for my site I have to overwrite the language files
 with the new formal po/mo files.

 But on the next upgrade I think they will be overwritten again by the
 default version (not formal).

 Andrew Nacin has mentioned the problem here:
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15677#comment:6]

 How about adding a new constant for [http://codex.wordpress.org
 /Editing_wp-config.php#Language_and_Language_Directory wp-config.php] to
 enable the possibility to configure this variant of the language?

 I think this could need further changes in GlotPress or WordPress.org to
 make automatic upgrades for formal language variants possible.
