Reflang might not work with locales longer than 2 symbols.

[egor83]

Reflang works with 2-letter locales ('en', 'de', ...), but fails with longer ('zh_Hans', for instance).
I'll test some more, but I'm quite sure the problem lies here, line 214:
https://github.com/mbi/django-rosetta/pull/60/files#diff-b1b9cc9184baf1c5f4af99b915eb35e3R214
If locale being handled has name longer than 2 letters, it fails and falls back on msgid.
In our experience, switching from 'zh_Hans' to 'zh' helped.

  Yes - searching for "locale" brings up a few solved issues, but these are about Rosetta in general, and not reflang.

Reference language - added for discoverability.

@mbi Hi, this issue is still present in the latest version.
I solved it locally by replacing the regex as suggested in the comment above.
Should I open an pr?
