These non-useful variants are now marked as "hidden" in Rosetta, so
translators are not offered these language variants for new
translations.  (If a translator particularly wants to translate into a
language variant, they can explicitly ask to do so.)

We don't have an automatic process for dealing with the existing
translations.  If someone can talk with Carlos on #launchpad on
irc.freenode.net, or mail carlos.perello at canonical.com, he can arrange
with you to fix up the schooltool translations in rosetta in a way that
works for you.

(I wanted to also send this to schooltool-dev, but some kind of mail
server misconfiguration stops me sending mail to that list.)
