[TYPO3-50-general] Locale representation in folder Meta/Documentation/Manual

Mi Masi,

Right. Sorry, my bad.

Right again.

Fine with me.

Oh, and I was hoping FLOW3 documentation would finally spark the world 
domination of de_CH with its easy-to-use alphabet, fully free of ß and 
other Greek letters... :-)
