Hey Calude,
What about normalizing the directory name to something that would just work.
For example,
No matter, if the developer is doing all these:
python manage.py makemessages -l zh_cn
python manage.py makemessages -l zh_CN
python manage.py makemessages -l ZH_CN
python manage.py makemessages -l ZH-CN
etc.
we, just normalize the directory name to zh_CN and it would work.
I'm still about to read the code of makemessages command and probably if there are any more checks than just this, then we'll have to figure out another way all together.

We have to be careful in deciding what is a "good" and a "bad" code. However I agree that we can avoid some mistakes, notably the confusion between IETF language tags [1] and ISO/IEC 15897 (Posix) [2] codes generally expected by Django.
