Multilingual Language Codes

pt & pt-BR

There is one issue in iOS about portuguese codes. iOS returns either pt or pt-BR. pt-BR is for Brasil. To handle both pt and pt-BR, Kwik4 added the following codes inside. Please keep using pt instead of pt-BR

tmplt/commands/app/lang.lua

    if defLang == "pt-BR" then
        _K.lang = "pt"
    end
